How To Mount A Power Strip To A Wall

There are two main ways to mount a power strip to a wall : using screws or using adhesive. Which method you choose will depend on the type of power strip you have and the surface of the wall you're mounting it to.

Using Screws

If your power strip has holes for screws, you can use this method to mount it to the wall. You will need the following materials:

A power strip with holes for screws
Screws that are the right size for the holes in the power strip
A screwdriver
A drill (optional)

To mount the power strip to the wall, follow these steps:

Hold the power strip up to the wall where you want to mount it. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the screw holes.
If you're drilling holes, use a drill to create pilot holes at each of the marked locations.
Insert the screws into the pilot holes and tighten them until the power strip is securely attached to the wall.

Using Adhesive

If your power strip does not have holes for screws, you can use adhesive to mount it to the wall. You will need the following materials:

A power strip with a flat back
Adhesive strips
A cloth

To mount the power strip to the wall, follow these steps:

Clean the surface of the wall where you want to mount the power strip with a cloth.
Remove the backing from the adhesive strips and press them onto the back of the power strip.
Hold the power strip up to the wall and press it into place.

Tips

Here are a few tips for mounting a power strip to a wall:

Make sure to choose a power strip that is the right size for your needs.
If you're mounting the power strip to a drywall, be sure to use screws that are long enough to reach the studs.
Use a level to make sure that the power strip is mounted straight.
Leave some space between the power strip and the wall so that you can easily plug in and unplug cords.
