A picture hanger aligning device and method for locating and aligning one or more picture hangers on a wall. An elongated, vertical center member and an elongated horizontal member having hooks protruding outwardly therefrom are connected in a triangular fashion by two elongated side members. A picture is hung from hooks on the horizontal member or, alternatively, from a hook on the vertical member, and held in a desired position against a wall. The position of a scribe hole in the vertical member is marked by inserting a marking utensil through the scribe hole, the picture is removed from the device, and the device is held against the wall in the desired position by aligning the scribe hole with the corresponding mark on the wall. The position of the hooks from which the picture is hung is then marked on the wall by inserting a writing utensil through scribe holes associated with the hooks. Hangers can then be inserted in the wall at the aligned positions of the wall marks, resulting in aligned picture hangers from which the picture can be hung.
