A method for mounting a device comprising:
- attaching a fastener means and a finish piece to a mounting metal template having at least one keyhole for receiving at least one flat-headed mounting nail;
- wherein the at least one keyhole aligns with at least one relief aperture in the fastener means;
- positioning a locator template at a desired mounting location and marking the location of at least one mounting hole through the locator template onto a wall surface;
- creating at least one hole in the wall surface marked by the locator template and inserting a mounting clip into the at least one hole;
- wherein the at least one clip is easily removable without wall surface damage;
- inserting said at least one flat-headed nail into said keyhole;

A mounting device comprising:
- a metal template having at least one keyhole formed therein;
- a fastener means attached one side to the metal template, wherein the fastener means has a relief aperture;
- the relief aperture being aligned with the at least one keyhole;
- a finished piece attached to the opposite side of the fastener means thus forming a sandwich of the metal template, the fastener means, and the finished piece;
- a locator template which corresponds to each keyhole location and also aligns to the relief aperture;
- wherein at least one hole is formed in a wall surface;
- at least one mounting clip for insertion into the at least one hole in a wall surface;
- wherein the at least one clip is easily removable without wall surface damage;
- at least one flat-headed mounting nail which inserts in the wall surface into the at least one keyhole, leaving a portion of the flat-headed mounting nail exposed;
- wherein the exposed portion of the at least one flat-headed mounting nail is aligned with the at least one mounting clip and the sandwich is pressed into each mounting clip so that the finished piece is supported hiding any means of support.
