A device (10) for preparing to mount a wall fixture includes a main base (20) having opposed first (22) and second (24) ends and a first auxiliary base (20') having a substantially similar configuration. The first auxiliary base (20') is coupled to the main base (20) and movable between a closed configuration in which the first auxiliary base (20') is positioned substantially atop the main base (20) and an open configuration in which the first auxiliary base (20') is linearly adjacent the main base (20). The main base (20) and first auxiliary base (20') each define a slot (26, 26') extending longitudinally between respective first (22, 22') and second (24, 24') ends. Each base (20, 20') includes a marking member (28, 28') situated in a respective base slot (26, 26') and slidably movable therealong. Each base (20, 20') includes a respective locking assembly (34, 34') for securing a respective marking member (28, 28') at a desired position along a respective slot (26, 26'). Each marking member (28, 28') includes a pointed distal end (32, 32') for making a starter hole when depressed against a wall surface. |
