Keyhole Slot

The default mounting option for the majority of our plaques is the keyhole slot. This is a horizontal recess with a larger entry hole on one side, making it easy to slide onto a screw or nail. The keyhole slot makes it effortless to mount the plaque on a wall.

This slot is typically available in both portrait and landscape orientations, so you can fully customize your plaque. If this mounting option is not available in both orientations, the option will be limited, so you can feel comfortable knowing you will not receive a plaque that you cannot hang in the desired orientation.

The illustration below shows how the plaque slides onto a screw or nail to create a flush-mount option on a wall. This creates a clean look, without any visible hardware.
