A picture hanger is initially held in place on a wall in a temporary manner without damaging the wall by including a backing with a shock absorbing layer overlaid by a temporary adhesive film. Prior to the picture hanger being temporarily fastened to the wall, the temporary adhesive film is covered by a protective paper sheet. The shock absorbing layer prevents the wall from being indented when the hanger is permanently secured to the wall by hammering a pin or nail through the layer and film. The layer is sufficiently soft to hold the nail in place when the nail impales the layer prior to hammering the nail into the wall. Prior to the backing being secured to the hanger, the permanent adhesive film is overlaid by another removable protective sheet. Initially the backings are located on an elongated strip and are punched from the strip for mounting on the hook body.

[ We claim:] [1.] A structure for mounting an object on a vertical surface adapted to receive an elongated fastener, the structure being adapted to be initially held in situ on the surface in a temporary manner without damaging the surface and then being adapted to be held in situ by the fastener on the surface without indenting the surface when the fastener is driven into the surface to secure the structure to the surface, the structure comprising a hanger arranged to enable the fastener to pass through it into the surface, a backing secured to the hanger, the backing including (a) a temporary adhesive film adapted to be temporarily secured to the surface, and (b) a shock absorbing layer interposed between the hanger and the film, the layer extending slightly beyond a peripheral edge of a base of the hanger and having sufficient thickness and being made of a material such that it absorbs forces imparted by the hanger when the fastener is driven into the surface through and against the hanger.
