Measuring and leveling device for allowing objects such as but not limited to picture frames, mirrors, and paintings, and the like, to be correctly aligned when being hung from a wall. One embodiment includes an elongated non planar shaped body having a flat rear surface for being placed against the wall and a front raised surface having calibrating indicia. The elongated bar can have at least two different measuring units placed thereon for allowing the user different readable measurements such as metric, inches, and the like. The slidable carriages have leveling gauges such as bubble gauges. The gauges can be interchangeable so that different orientated gauges(i.e. one perpendicular to the other) can be used. Alternatively the gauges can be rotatable to selected degree orientations. Each carriage can have depressible locking type switches, such as cams that allow for an on-depressed position locking the carriages to the elongated body, and an open position allowing for the carriages to be freely moveable. End caps on the elongated body restrict the carriages from sliding off. Flanges with holes on the carriages allow for marks to be made on the wall so that object hanging fasteners can be attached to the wall.
