A locating device for attaching a fixture level on a wall is disclosed. The device includes an elongated body having a rear side. A first trammel is slidingly mounted on the elongated body and includes a first marker extending from the first trammel in a direction away from the rear side of the body. A second trammel is also slidingly mounted on the elongated body and includes a second marker extending from the second trammel in a direction away from the rear side of the body. A first securing device is attached to the first trammel to secure it in a desired position. A second securing device is attached to the second trammel to secure it in a desired position. A level is mounted to the elongated body and has a predetermined orientation relative to an imaginary line connecting the first marker and the second marker. A side of the elongated body may include graduated markings which can be used as a guide to position the trammels.
