Mounting system capable of receiving threaded and threadless posts

A device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a socket structure that extends along an axis from an exterior point corresponding to an outer surface of the housing to an interior point,
• the socket structure having an interior surface that defines a void extending along the axis, the interior surface including a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion,
• the threaded portion including threads configured to frictionally engage a threaded post,
• the threaded portion positioned between the exterior point and the unthreaded portion in a direction along the axis,
• the unthreaded portion including a tapered portion;
• and
• at least one of a magnet or a ferromagnetic element positioned proximate the interior point to cause a threadless post to slide across and to be exposed to the threads of the threaded portion and to become magnetically engaged with the socket structure, the tapered portion of the unthreaded portion configured to frictionally engage the threadless post.

• the socket structure configured to expose the threadless post to physical contact with the threads and to enable the threadless post to slide across the threads;
• and
• at least one of a magnet or a ferromagnetic element positioned proximate the interior point, the at least one of the magnet or the ferromagnetic element configured to cause the threadless post to be magnetically engaged with the socket structure.
