PASig"Keyhole" Mounts - My Nemesis
Two words:
COMMAND STRIPS
Seriously, you can get Command Strips that can hold up like 15 lbs and there's no putting holes in your walls and adjusting/leveling anything is easy.

This method. Simple and easy. Been doing it this way for years.

mark123I always make a template. I put a piece of paper on the back of the item and rub over the keyholes with the edge of a pencil. If the keyholes are offset you can also mark the template with a level line. Then I use a short level across the appropriate template marks and tape it in place. I drill holes for the screws through the template. Always hangs correctly.
