An adjustable hanger assembly having a fixed holder base mountable to a substantially planar structure such as a wall and a movable hook assembly slidably insertable into a cavity within the fixed holder base A actuator disposed in the fixed holder base in contact with the movable hook assembly causes the movable hook to move upward or downward in relation to the fixed holder base to a desired position of an item for hanging.

An article for hanging on a support surface includes a substrate having a first end and a second end. The article includes a pair of rails with each rail including a recessed channel that extends in a longitudinal direction. A pair of splines is provided with each spline including a raised ridge that extends in a longitudinal direction. The raised ridge is configured for insertion into the recessed channel. The article also includes a first pair of end caps. Each end cap of the first pair of end caps having an end walls and side walls that define a hollow interior, wherein each end cap of the first pair of end caps further includes slots that are formed in two of the side walls that are opposite one another. The article includes an elongated hanging element that has enlarged portions at two opposite ends thereof. The elongated hanging element passes through the slots of the first pair of end caps with the enlarged portions being located external to the first pair of end caps. Wherein in an assembled state, one rail and one spline are disposed adjacent one another such that the raised ridge is at least partially inserted into the recessed channel and the substrate is captured within the recessed channel and the first pair of end caps are disposed over opposite ends of the one rail and one spline to join and hold the one rail and one spline against one another with the substrate captured therebetween.

A modular panel mount strip for mounting a panel or piece of art to a wall comprising an elongate body and a magnet. The elongate body includes a magnet housing, a segmentation groove, and at least one interlocking feature. The magnet housing retains the magnet within the elongate body. The segmentation groove is located between a top edge of the elongate body and a bottom edge of the elongate body and can be structured and configured to be broken by human force without breaking other parts of the elongate body. The interlocking feature includes a hinged portion on a first end of the elongate body and/or a locking portion on an opposing end of the elongate body. The locking portion of a first modular panel mount strip can interlock with the hinged portion of a second modular panel mount strip, thereby creating an interlocking mechanism and lengthening the overall device.

A hanging system and a method of hanging a support structure from a support surface. The hanging system may include a support structure and a hanging bracket for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The support structure may include a mounting groove that accepts a portion of the hanging bracket to facilitate the coupling therebetween. The support structure may be able to slide side-to-side along the support surface while remaining coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging system may alternatively, or additionally, include a reinforcement bracket. The reinforcement bracket may serve the dual purpose of holding the various mitered components of the support structure together and facilitating the hanging of the support structure from the support surface.

A method of assembling a frame which includes positioning a first frame member adjacent to a second frame member, the first and second frame members having channel with a mounting surface; providing a reinforcement bracket having a plate with a front surface and a rear surface, a first mounting element extending from the rear surface of the plate, and a second mounting element extending from the rear surface of the plate; applying an adhesive along at least one of: (1) the mounting surfaces of the frame members; and (2) the first and second mounting elements of the reinforcement bracket; and positioning the first and second mounting elements into the channels and pressing the first and second mounting elements against the mounting surfaces to adhesively attach the reinforcement bracket to the first and second frame members and thereby couple the first and second frame members together.
