- WORKS WITH THE MAJORITY OF KEYHOLE SLOT STYLES - Using the included interfaces, the hanging tools work on all keyhole slot materials and most keyhole slot configurations, including molded-in (plastic), cut-in (wood, plastic or metal), add-on hardware (surface mounted or recessed). Accommodates thicknesses ranging from thin metal to 3/8". [See website FAQ for any keyhole slot configuration that creates difficulty].
- MARKS VIRTUALLY ANY SURFACE - Comes with non-drying (confirmed so far 4.5 years) black and white ink to mark both light and dark surfaces. The caps store ample long-lasting ink for more than 1000 uses. Works on hard, soft, smooth, and rough/textured surfaces. Ink marks can be removed with a Magic Eraser or denatured alcohol.
- RECESSED, SELF-INKING MARKER - When the tools are mounted, ink is automatically transferred from the ink reservoir in the snap-on cap to the marking pad. The recessed marking pad is a unique design feature that ensures the surface remains free of unwanted marks while positioning the object. The only mark on the surface is the fastener location mark that comes from the push-to-mark action.

Product Description
Accu Mount Tools Keyhole Companion
Tired of measuring for keyhole slots, making multiple surface marks, and still having objects that are crooked or will not mount? The Keyhole Companion solves this by attaching to keyhole slots and marking where the fasteners need to go on the surface. No measuring, generating templates or guessing.
Keyhole Marking Tool
"If you’ve struggled to hang picture frames or other wall-mounted décor with keyhole hardware, this Accu Mount Keyhole Slot Marking Tool Set is just what you need. It quickly installs on the piece you want to hang, and when you press it against the wall, a small mark is made in the exact location you need to place the screw. There are lots of hacks out there that will allow you to do the same thing but if you want an easy way to make these marks grab one of these keyhole markers online...."

Mount

Mark
No measuring to determine fastener locations
After pressing it against the surface, each tool leaves an "X" to show where to install fasteners.

Done
Quickly mount objects right the first time
One and done.
To ensure the Keyhole Companion works with the widest range of keyhole slots and hardware, three built-in interchangeable interfaces are included. Simply select the interface that matches the slot type, and screw it into the center post.
Any TIPS when using the Keyhole Companion?
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).
For KEYHOLE SLOTS ON A SMALL RAISED SURFACE (like a pedestal) the tool tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?
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.
Using FLAT NARROW ADD-ON KEYHOLE SLOT hardware, the Keyhole Companion tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?
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.
Using FLAT ROUND ADD-ON KEYHOLE SLOT hardware, the Keyhole Companion tilts when tightened. How do I prevent that?
• 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.
What do I do if there's NOT ENOUGH GRIP-RANGE (interface extension) to mount the Keyhole Companion in the keyhole slot?
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.

Enter the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set! This nifty little tool is designed to help you mark the perfect spot for your keyhole slot fasteners, ensuring that your hangings are straight, level, and exactly where you want them.
But be warned, my fellow handy-people: with great power comes great responsibility. And by "responsibility," I mean the potential for your wife to question your sanity when she discovers yet another hole in the wall.
"Honey, I thought we talked about this," she'll say, exasperation evident in her voice. "Why are there so many holes in the wall? It looks like we've been under attack by a gang of miniature drill-wielding maniacs!"
You'll try to explain that it's all part of the process, that the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is just helping you achieve hanging perfection. But she'll just shake her head and mutter something about "men and their toys."
So, if you're ready to take your hanging game to the next level (and potentially endure a few eye rolls from your significant other), then the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is the tool for you! Just remember: with every perfectly marked keyhole slot, there's a chance you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.
Happy hanging!
Some pro tips:
Know what to be gentle with and what needs manhandling. Taking off the ink caps requires a little aggression. Nothing crazy, but it is an affirmative action. You really can't break anything doing that.
Be gentle but firm in cinching up the mount into the keyhole (by turning the colored inkpads. They do double duty here). You can distort your keyhole if you crank down too hard on the ink cap.
Do be gentle when pressing he AccuMount to the surface to mark. It's basically like a rubber stamp. No need to bear down. Just a press will do. You can distort or otherwise mess up your AccuMount stamps if you overdo it here.
Use the white one for marking surfaces that are dark (wood, etc.) - so the contrast is made between your mark and the surface.
Make a job you used to hate something you look forward to!
