Abstract: Subject apparatus includes at least one anchoring socket each being fixedly attached to the wall which is provided with a prepared hole for receiving same. A pin member having an oblong heat portion is included for each anchoring socket and is grippingly received therein whereby outward movement of the pin member is precluded. A platelike element is included for each anchoring socket and is fixedly attached to the back side of the picture frame. Subject apparatus may include a guide member for locating the optimum position of the platelike element on the back side of the picture frame. One embodiment of the pin member includes a plurality of angularly arranged barbs disposed along the length of the shaft portion allowing the pin member to be urged into the socket and to preclude subsequent withdrawal thereof. Another embodiment of the pin member includes male threads and the socket is threaded internally for threaded engagement therewith.
