Trying to clean up the network closet. I’ve got an S33 modem that’s shaped like an almond, and a lutron hub that’s like a deck of cards, that don’t have keyholes to mount with. I’ve seen the 3D printed brackets but that’s not my style. I’m more of a duct-tape-and-bailing-wire kind of guy. The leading plan is some plastic pipe strapping from the big orange store. I’ve used Velcro at work for telephone ATAs and stuff like that but I don’t think it will stick to the raw plywood well. I’ve got a pretty well equipped shop. What kind of mounting tricks do you guys have?
Coat hangars or aluminum wire. Loop for a screw, bend to the shape you want, loop for another screw. Or eye screws and zip ties.
If you have a well equipped shop, I assume you have old wood laying around. In that case, whatever you end up doing, i’d suggest mounting it to a thin piece of plywood first, and then mounting the plywood to the inside of your closet. You could use a French cleat if you want to be fancy, or just use some pan head screws at the top (and bottom if you’re paranoid) and then take them out and drill out the holes in your plywood to just barely more than the size of your screw head. Put the screws back in the wall and use it like a keyhole. Now you don’t have to screw around inside your closet when you need to rearrange again. Just pull out the whole panel.
