Abstract
A surface mount assembly for mounting a device in a surface opening of a mounting surface includes a frame, a number of locking mechanisms, and a cam ring. Each locking mechanism includes a locking member, a locker, and a coil spring. The cam ring shifts the locker rearward to move the locking member to a deployed orientation when the cam ring is rotated in one direction. The coil spring pushes the locking member to a deployed position against a back side of the mounting surface when the locking member moves to the deployed orientation. The cam ring shifts the locker forward to secure the locking member in the deployed position when the cam is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction.
