An adjustable hanger for hanging pictures, tools, or the like has an elongated, slotted bracket member having a wall mounting portion at one end thereof. A hanger hook member has a vertical portion with a bolt hole adjacent one end and is adapted to be positioned anywhere along the bracket by means of a bolt member and a resilient washer. The surfaces of the bracket and the vertical portion of the hook member may be roughened or striated to insure better purchase of the resilient washer between those two members when compressed by the action of the bolt member.
