Claim 6:
7. An extended mount for engaging holes in a mounting surface, the extended mount comprising:
(b) a first locking mount comprising:
(i) a first locking member comprising a first front surface having a first engagement edge and a first locking edge;
(ii) a first tine member comprising: a first mounting plate and a first tine extending from the first mounting plate, the first tine: having a first proximal portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first mounting plate, having a first distal portion extending substantially parallel to the first mounting plate, and providing a first hole-engagement surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the first mounting plate;
(iii) wherein the first distal portion has a first distal-portion length;
(iv) wherein the first mounting plate is pivotably connected to the first front surface with a first pivot joint at a point on the first front surface a first distance from the first engagement edge and a second distance from the first locking edge and at a point on the first mounting plate a third distance from the first hole-engagement surface, wherein the first pivot joint has a pivot axis and the point on the first front surface and the point on the first mounting plate are aligned with the first pivot joint's pivot axis, and wherein the first proximal portion extends in a direction out from and substantially perpendicular to the first front surface;
(v) wherein the third distance is substantially equal to or greater than the first distance; and
(vi) wherein the second distance is substantially equal to or greater than the sum of the third distance and the first distal-portion length;

(c) a second locking mount comprising:
(i) a second locking member comprising a second front surface having a second engagement edge and a second locking edge;
(ii) a second tine member comprising: a second mounting plate and a second tine extending from the second mounting plate, the second tine: having a second proximal portion extending substantially perpendicular to the second mounting plate, having a second distal portion extending substantially parallel to the second mounting plate, and providing a second hole-engagement surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the second mounting plate;
(iii) wherein the second distal portion has a second distal-portion length;
(iv) wherein the second mounting plate is pivotably connected to the second front surface with a second pivot joint at a point on the second front surface a fourth distance from the second engagement edge and a fifth distance from the second locking edge and at a point on the second mounting plate a sixth distance from the second hole-engagement surface, wherein the second pivot joint has a pivot axis and the point on the second front surface and the point on the second mounting plate are aligned with the second pivot joint's pivot axis, and wherein the second proximal portion extends in a direction out from and substantially perpendicular to the second front surface;
(v) wherein the sixth distance is substantially equal to or greater than the fourth distance; and
(vi) wherein the fifth distance is substantially equal to or greater than the sum of the sixth distance and the second distal-portion length; and

(d) a spanning plate;
(e) wherein the first locking mount is pivotably connected to the spanning plate and the second locking mount is pivotably connected to the spanning plate.
