Question 1

Any TIPS when using the Keyhole Companion?

Accepted Answer

1) Choose the correct interface for the slot type. 2) Push the product to the end of the slot while tightening. 3) Product needs to be perpendicular to the surface when tightened (if tilted, spacers can be used to make it perpendicular).

Question 2

For KEYHOLE SLOTS ON A SMALL RAISED SURFACE (like a pedestal) the tool tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?

Accepted Answer

An adapter can be made using a 7/8” diameter or larger fender washer with #6 or 5/32” or larger center hole (available at hardware stores). Simply unscrew the flat interface, put it through the washer, and re-install the interface with the washer.

Question 3

Using FLAT NARROW ADD-ON KEYHOLE SLOT hardware, the Keyhole Companion tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?

Accepted Answer

An adapter can be made by placing a spacer (like a wood coffee stirrer) adjacent to each long side of the hardware. The Keyhole Companion will then rest on the spacers and tighten perpendicular to the object surface.

Question 4

Using FLAT ROUND ADD-ON KEYHOLE SLOT hardware, the Keyhole Companion tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?

Accepted Answer

• For surface mounted, a spacer will typically be needed under one end of the Keyhole Companion in order to have it tighten perpendicular. • For recessed, two spacers may be needed, one of them long enough to fully bridge the recess diameter.

Question 5

What do I do if there's NOT ENOUGH GRIP-RANGE (interface extension) to mount the Keyhole Companion in the keyhole slot?

Accepted Answer

Insufficient grip-range (interface extension) can occur if the keyhole slot material is too thick, if a recess is cut too deep, or as a result of the use of spacers. The remedy is to partially unscrew the interface to increase the product grip range.
