Abstract

A method of mounting a telecommunications frame (114) to a floor surface includes fixing a floor mounting template (6000) to the floor surface, wherein the template (6000) defines a front end (6020) and a rear end (6022) and first and second sides (6006, 6008) extending therebetween, sliding the telecommunications frame (114) over the floor mounting template (6000) in a direction extending from the front end (6020) to the rear end (6022) of the template, wherein the template (6000) is positioned within a gap (5999) defined by spaced-apart walls (5997) of the telecommunications frame (114), and securing the first side (6006) of the floor mounting template (6000) to a first portion of the telecommunications frame (114) and securing the second side (6008) of the floor mounting template (6000) to a second portion of the telecommunications frame (114).
