How-To Article: Hanging with One Hook Learn the basics here
If your frame has a wire on the back and is lightweight, using a single nail or a hook is the best way to go. Here is how to use Hang & Level™ to get perfect hanging results every time. Note: if your item is heavy, we recommend using 2 hooks instead of one.
Step 1 Hang the item on the single hook marked A on the tool. Make sure that the wire is snugly placed in the notch at the back of the hook. Use the single hook to hang items weighing less than 9 lbs (4.5 kg), for heavier items use 2 hooks.
Step 2 Center the item on the tool using the marks on the side as a guide. Hold the item with your free hand for safety. Once the level in the handle is centered, position the item so that it lines up equally on both sides of the tool.
Step 3 Place the tool on the wall and find the perfect wall placement. No measuring necessary - move the tool and the item around on the wall until you find the right spot. The pads on the back of the tool will prevent scratching the wall. When you have found the right spot make sure the level in the handle is centered correctly.
Step 4 Remove the item from the tool, while keeping the tool on the wall. Note: If you can’t remove the item easily, mark the position of the tool using the notch on the top. Then, once your have removed the tool and the item from the wall, return the tool to the mark and ensure it’s level to continue..
Step 5 With the tool in the correct spot press the button (A) . The tool will make a small mark on the wall. Remove the tool once you have made the mark.
Step 6 If you are using a picture hook to hang the item... Place the BOTTOM of the hook over the mark on the wall. Nail the hook in this position.
If you are using a nail to hang the item... Hammer the nail directly into the mark on the wall.
Step 7 Hang the item on the wall. Use the level on the side of the tool to make sure the item is hanging correctly on the wall. Lay the tool sideways on top of the item and make sure that the bubble in the level is centered.

Also, I drove about 40 miles to purchase it and when I returned home and started looking it over, I discovered it had no level vials. I called the company and they are sending me a new tool. I think this is a wonderful company. Thank you very much. Norm Smith
