Wall mounting assemblies and methods are disclosed. The assembly includes a bracket that has two frame members coupled at a hinge. Each frame member has a hook for engaging a recess or slot on a panel. The assembly further includes a panel that has edges that are configured to engage the edges of adjacent panels, without the need for tilting the panel to engage. Each panel has two slots for receiving the bracket. Bending the two frame members on the bracket causes the bracket's hooks to lock into the slots on the panel.

1. A bracket for a wall mounting assembly, comprising: a first frame member having an opening and a first hook that is sized and dimensioned to engage a first recess;a second frame member having an angled handle portion disposed on a front side of the first frame member and a second hook portion disposed on a back side of the first frame member, wherein the second hook portion is sized and dimensioned to engage a second recess;wherein the first frame member and second frame member are rotatably coupled, such that the second frame member rotates with respect to the first frame member between an engaging position and a disengaging position; andwherein, in the engaging position, the angled handle portion of the second frame member covers the opening of the first frame member and, in the disengaging position, the angled handle portion exposes the opening. 2. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the second hook of the second frame member extends through the opening of the first frame member. 3. The bracket of claim 1, further comprising an elongated member coupled with and extending from the first frame member for hanging an object. 4. The bracket of claim 3, wherein the elongated member is removably coupled with the first frame member via a snap fitting. 5. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the first and second hooks are L-shaped. 6. The bracket of claim 1, further comprising a first cover and a second cover sized and dimensioned to cover a front side of the first and second frame members. 7. The bracket of claim 6, wherein the first and second covers slidably engage a first edge and a second edge of the first frame member. 8. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the first and second hooks are disposed on a back side of the first frame member and further comprising a third hook rotatably coupled with the first frame member and disposed on a front side of the first frame member. 9. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the first hook is a downward facing L-shaped hook and the second hook is an upward facing L-shaped hook. 10. A bracket for a wall mounting assembly, comprising: a first frame member having a first hook disposed on a back side of the first frame member;a second frame member having an angled handle portion disposed on a front side of the first frame member and a second hook portion disposed on the back side of the first frame member;wherein the first frame member and second frame member are rotatably coupled, such that the second frame member rotates with respect to the first frame member between a first position and a second position; andwherein the shortest distance from the angled handle portion to the first frame member is greater when the angled handle portion is in the second position than when in the first position. 11. The bracket of claim 10, wherein in the first position the first hook and second hook are parallel to one another. 12. The bracket of claim 10, wherein in the second position the first hook and second hook are non-parallel to one another. 13. The bracket of claim 10, wherein in the second position the second hook is angled outward relative to the first frame. 14. The bracket of claim 10, wherein the first frame and second frame are rotatably coupled at a hinge. 15. The bracket of claim 10, wherein the angled handle portion and the second hook are rigidly coupled such that rotating the angled handle portion causes the second hook to rotate. 16. The bracket of claim 10, wherein in the first position the angled handle portion is angled outward relative to the first frame.
