Abstract
A device for releasably and adjustably securing objects relative to each other such as hanging a picture frame relative to a wall. The device includes a flexible elongated strap slidably received by a latch mechanism. The strap and latch mechanism have complementary locking teeth permitting movement of the latch mechanism in one direction on the strap but preventing movement in the opposite direction. Means are provided to maintain the teeth in disengaged relationship so that the latch mechanism may be freely moved in both directions relative to the strap.
