Abstract
A drywall repair hardware and method of using the same. The drywall repair hardware includes a flat plate with a joint arm extending from an outer surface of the flat plate around a median portion thereof. At least one prong protrudes from an end of the joint arm generally parallel to the flat plate. The at least on prong is engaged to embed into a side edge of the drywall surrounding the hole to be repaired. An adhesive joins the repair hardware to the back interior surface of the drywall to be repaired. Once the repair hardware is adhered to the wall, the adhesive is applied to the opposite ends of the plate and the patch is inserted to repair the hole.
