Abstract
A fastener assembly for mounting an object on a wall, according to the invention, includes a substantially planar member having at least one ledge extending substantially perpendicular therefrom, the member being configured to permit at least a portion of the planar member to lie flush against the wall, with the ledge inserted at least partially through the wall. The fastener assembly serves uniquely as a support or crutch in order to increase the previously unused load carrying abilities of both the fastener and wall to support heavier objects.
