Abstract
A picture frame hanging wire applicator tool includes an elongated body member, an end member attached to and projecting transversely from an end of the body member for holding the body member in relation to a top edge of a picture frame, and a series of longitudinally-spaced apart protuberances in the form of pegs carried along a front side of the body member. Each of the pegs carried by the body member provides a means for retaining a picture frame hanging wire at an apex point which is at a known distance from the top edge of the picture frame. Indicia labels can be provided on the back side of the frame for recording the distance between the hanging wire apex point and the top edge of the picture frame for use by the end user or person who later will hang the picture frame at a desired location on a wall.
