1. A wall mounting kit comprising:

  • a wall mount frame configured to be attached directly to a wall, wherein the wall mount frame consists of a solid cut out piece manufactured from a sheet of material;

    one or more screen hook interfaces that are configured to be coupled to a screen to enable hanging the screen onto the wall mount frame;

    wherein the one or more screen hook interfaces are configured to lock onto the wall mount frame so that the one or more screen hook interfaces will not accidently detach from the wall mount frame by applying a force in a single direction;

    wherein the one or more screen hook interfaces each consist of a solid cut out piece manufactured from the sheet of material;

    wherein the wall mount frame includes an upper vertical rail and a lower vertical rail;

    wherein the upper vertical rail locks into a matching upper groove at an upper end of the one or more screen hook interfaces in an assembled state of the wall mounting kit, and the lower vertical rail locks into a matching lower groove at a lower end of the one or more screen hook interfaces in the assembled state of the wall mounting kit, the upper groove is vertically aligned with the lower groove;

    wherein the lower groove is protected by an inclined nose that is part of the one or more screen hook interfaces and causes the lower vertical rail to slide into the lower groove when pushing the one or more screen hook interfaces toward the wall mount frame;

    wherein a self-opening prevention plane is situated below the lower groove as part of the one or more screen hook interfaces to prevent the one or more screen hook interfaces from being lifted upward and detached from the wall mount frame;

    wherein at the upper end, the one or more screen hook interfaces have a substantially horizontal top edge, a side edge sloping outwardly and downwardly from the substantially horizontal top edge and a substantially vertical edge extending from the side edge, the substantially vertical edge at the upper end is an outer edge of substantially rectangular tooth shaped piece that defines one side of the upper groove; and

    wherein at the lower end, the one or more screen book interlaces have a substantially horizontal bottom edge, a side edge sloping outwardly and upwardly from the substantially horizontal bottom edge, and a substantially vertical edge extending upwardly from the side edge, wherein the self-opening prevention plane extends inwardly from the substantially vertical edge at the lower end.
