摘要： In an example, an apparatus for mounting hardware to an object includes: a base member having an attachment surface to be attached to the object, base member magnets, and a base breakaway connection surface; a hardware support having a hardware support surface to receive the hardware, hardware support magnets, and a support breakaway connection surface to be magnetically coupled with the base breakaway connection surface, by magnetic attraction between the base member magnets and the hardware support magnets, to form a magnetic connection having a preset magnetic breakaway strength to maintain the magnetic connection and allow the hardware support and the base member to be separated by a force greater than the preset magnetic breakaway strength; and a fastener to fasten the hardware to the hardware support, the fastener keeping the hardware and the hardware support fastened together under a force sufficiently large to separate the magnetic connection.
