Installing Power Strips with Multiple Keyhole slots

[rgsparber]

The power strip I just mounted on the wall has keyhole slots to anchor it.

It didn't take any talent to drive a screw in the wall for the first keyhole. But how do I do the second one so it is in the right location?

My trick was to take a flat head 6-32 screw with a nut and slide it into the second keyhole. Then I finger tightened the nut so it did not slide around. With the power strip resting on the narrow end of one keyhole on the first screw, I positioned the power strip at the desired orientation. Then I firmly pushed it against the wall. The 6-32 screw made a nice, clean depression in the drywall. It was then a matter of driving in the second screw into this depression. Of course, it has to align.
