Mounting Assembly

Disclosed is a mounting assembly for hanging articles, for example, pictures, art, mirrors and the like. A receiver component attaches to a surface (e.g., a wall) and a hook component attached to an article (e.g., a picture frame). The receiver component includes a slot. The hook component includes a tab insertable in the slot. The receiver component attaches to the flat surface by use of adhesive material and/or fasteners. The receiver component may also include marks and a built-in level to allow for precise positioning of the receiver component. The hook component attaches to the article using fasteners in elongated slots thereby allowing precise positioning. Once the hook component is inserted into the receiver component, a user may further adjust the article's horizontal position and angle (e.g., level).
