A mounting system for a covering for an architectural opening includes a mounting bracket that has a main body with a rear edge, and a rear wall extends from the rear edge. The rear wall has a key cut-out therethrough. A locking key is removably and rotatably supported in the key cut-out, whereby the locking key may be selectively rotated between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking key includes a handle that permits it to be selectively rotated between its locked and unlocked positions, and the locking key also includes a lock finger that keeps the headrail in position.
