Twin Socket Extension Cord Wall Mount

thingiverse

Mounting an extension cord on a wall without pre-drilled holes requires a creative solution. I recently had to accomplish this task, and I'll outline the steps I took. Hopefully, it will be helpful for those who encounter similar situations. First, identify the stud in the wall using a stud finder or knock gently on the wall with your knuckles. Once you've located the stud, mark its position with a pencil. Next, measure the distance from the stud to where you want to mount the extension cord. Cut a small piece of wood to fit snugly over the back of the extension cord. This will provide a surface for drilling into without damaging the cord itself. Drill pilot holes in the wooden strip at the desired mounting points. Then, insert screws or nails into the holes and screw them into the stud behind the wall. Make sure they're secure but not overtightened. Finally, attach the extension cord to the wooden strip using screws or nails. Double-check that it's level and securely fastened before plugging it in.
