A wooden studwall is erected utilizing a hinge, of metal plate, having a bottom plate, two outer legs and a center leg extending from one side of the bottom plate so that the hinge can be aligned, along a chalk snap line located along the subfloor, where a wooden studwall is to be placed and the bottom plate and center leg can be nailed to the subfloor. The two outer legs, are bent up ninety degrees to the bottom plate, and are nailed to the underside of sole plate at the bottom of the stud wall so that when the wooden stud wall is raised the sole plate does not slip and is correctly aligned with the chalk snap line when the wooden stud wall is in the vertical position. The two outer legs may be left flat, parallel to the bottom plate, for safety reasons and then, after the bottom plate is nailed to the subfloor, bent up perpendicular to the subfloor and attached to the bottom sole plate of the stud wall.

1. An improved wall hinge device aligning and anchoring a wooden stud wall, having a bottom and a top and a sole plate, with an underside, on the bottom and a horizontal stringer on the top and one or more vertical studs communicating there between, the wall hinge comprised of a metal plate having a bottom plate and three legs extending from one side thereof along a line of joinder with the bottom plate, the three legs being of equal length and formed by two tapered slots, wider at the end opposite to the bottom plate, each slot having been formed between a respective side of a center leg and a respective outer leg of the three legs the sides of the center leg being parallel to each other and perpendicular to the bottom plate, with the point of joinder of the outer legs to the bottom plate having been weakened and bent ninety degrees to the bottom plate, said bottom plate having round holes therein to accommodate a means to fixedly attach it to a subfloor and the legs having elongated holes, the outer legs having at least one round nail hole near the end farthest from the bottom plate, therein to accommodate a means to fixedly attach the center leg to the subfloor and the outer legs to the underside of the sole plate at the bottom of the wooden stud wall, so that once the wall hinge is aligned with a chalk snap line on the subfloor and the bottom plate and center leg are secured in place, the outer legs, bent ninety degrees to vertical, are secured to the underside of the sole plate at the bottom of the wooden stud wall, which wooden stud wall can be fabricated horizontally on the subfloor or fabricated elsewhere and brought into position and nailed to the outer legs, and the wooden stud wall can be raised into exact alignment with the chalk snap line.
