Abstract
A wall article hanging device includes a metal plate having one or more prongs angled from a surface thereof for angled penetration into a wall surface such as gypsum board or sheet rock.

The wall plate may be elongate in shape with a plurality of opposed prongs in spaced relationship to facilitate level and flush attachment. The wall plate may include one or more through openings and fastening means to permit rigid and flush attachment of the metal plate to a article to be hung on a wall surface.
