Hanging display kit for commemorative items

A method of installing a display system for commemorative items, comprising the steps of:

• positioning an alignment template against a wall surface, the alignment template having a plurality of frame-positioning areas, each area having at least two apertures, wherein the alignment template further comprises a permanently affixed bubble level;
• adjusting the alignment template until the bubble level indicates level alignment;
• installing a plurality of ferromagnetic mounting fixtures to the wall surface by positioning each fixture at an aperture location on the alignment template;
• removing the alignment template from the wall surface;
• positioning a transparent encasement frame having at least two permanent magnets affixed to a rear surface thereof against the wall surface such that the at least two permanent magnets magnetically couple with corresponding ferromagnetic mounting fixtures;
• and
• adjusting the encasement frame position while maintaining the magnetic coupling to achieve a desired final position.

A kit for displaying and mounting commemorative items, comprising:

• at least one transparent encasement frame dimensioned to receive a commemorative item and having at least two permanent magnets affixed to a rear surface at spaced-apart locations;
• a horizontal alignment template having a plurality of first frame-positioning areas, each first frame-positioning area comprising at least two apertures corresponding to the spaced-apart locations of the permanent magnets, the horizontal alignment template further comprising a first bubble level permanently affixed thereto;
• a vertical alignment template having a plurality of second frame-positioning areas, each second frame-positioning area comprising at least two apertures corresponding to the spaced-apart locations of the permanent magnets, the vertical alignment template further comprising a second bubble level permanently affixed thereto;
• and
• a plurality of ferromagnetic mounting fixtures, each fixture having an adhesive surface configured to attach to a wall and a frame-facing surface configured to magnetically couple with the permanent magnets;
• wherein the ferromagnetic mounting fixtures are dimensioned larger than the permanent magnets to provide positional adjustment tolerance.
