Claim:
1. A method for securing a cable along a surface, the method comprising: a. providing a dispenser having a plurality of rails extending in parallel, spaced-apart relationship to one another, each rail having a proximal end and a cantilevered distal end; b. providing a plurality of cable supports carried by the rails of the dispenser, each cable support having a central shaft portion with a forward end configured to be secured to the surface, a rearward end configured to extend from the surface, and for each rail, a hook structure extending from the central shaft portion rearward end and curving toward the central shaft portion forward end, each hook structure having a corresponding rail slidably received therein such that the plurality of cable supports are arranged in a substantially stacked configuration along the rails; c. sliding a distal most one of the cable supports toward the distal ends of the rails, thereby separating the distal most cable support from the remaining cable supports; d. positioning the dispenser proximate the surface with the forward end of the distal most cable support proximate a desired mounting location along the surface; e. fastening the forward end of the distal most cable support to the surface proximate the desired mounting location, thereby mounting the cable support to the surface; f. slidably removing the distal ends of the rails from the mounted cable support; and g. inserting the cable into a hook structure of the mounted cable support, thereby securing the cable along the surface.
