Hanging something like a surge protector is a pain to get right. If you happen to have a photocopier sitting around, American Woodworker suggests you simply copy the back of the object for a simple template.
This works great for anything you need to hang with a hidden slots on the back that need careful measurement. If you don’t happen to have a photocopier handy, a scanner (even a smartphone one) and a printer will do the trick as well. The photocopy template isn’t useful for everything, but it certainly comes in handy for those trickier items.
For everything else, it’s all about measuring and mounting. If you have a little more leeway in the space between drill holes, you can also use a strip of tape to accomplish the same task.
