Abstract: The present invention relates to a picture hanging, positioning and leveling device for use in marking one or more points on a wall or other vertical surface where fastener devices should be installed in order to precisely hang one or more pictures or other objects at their desired locations on the wall. The device includes an elongate frame component which, in one embodiment, may be a carpenter's level-like apparatus, one or more first extension components extending up from the elongate frame and one or more second extension components extending out from the first extension component in a plane parallel with the face of the elongate frame. Each second extension component in configured to include at one end both a hook element for insertion into hanging elements on the back of the objects to be hung and a marking element for marking a point on the wall for the subsequent installation of a fastener device.
