Abstract
An improved mounting block has a base plate portion and a face plate portion. Base plate portion has an outer surface extending outward from a mounting surface and is selectively attachable to the face plate portion. One of the face plate portion and the base plate portion has a plurality of snap fit teeth formed thereon, and the other has a plurality of snap fit receivers, configured to selectively receive the snap fit teeth. Face plate portion may include flange flex grooves formed in an attachment flange, allowing walls to deflect independently from corners, such that the flange flex grooves allow the attachment flange to flex outward from the outer surface. Base plate portion may include alignment ribs extending outward from the outer surface, such that the flange flex grooves formed in the attachment flange interface with the alignment ribs formed on the base plate portion.
