Abstract

An article, method, and kit for holding an object in place on a wall that include a jig with a support member and a platform member that is coupled to, and extends perpendicularly from, the support member. The support member has a top end including a portion adapted to be positioned behind a wall-facing surface of an object placed upon the platform member and an opening that is adapted to removably engage a coupling device on or in a wall such that the support member is disposed in a substantially vertical hanging position upon the wall. The jig may further include a brace member that forms a triangle by connecting a lower side of the platform member to the support member.
