ABSTRACT:
A fastening device and method for securely attaching objects, which objects can be relatively large in size, to a front side of a panel having the other side closed or hidden, which panel can be relatively thin in thickness, uses an elongated auxiliary member which is insertable lengthwise through an insertion hole formed in the panel. The auxiliary member is positionable on the back side of the panel to extend along a significant linear distance on the back side of the panel. The object is attached to the panel and the auxiliary member by a plurality of fasteners. Each fastener extends through aligned openings formed in the object, the panel, and the auxiliary member. Each of the set of aligned openings is separate and spaced from the insertion hole to thereby provide a plurality of attachment forces. Each attachment force is separate and spaced from the location of the insertion hole. Relatively large and/or heavy objects can be securely attached to a panel which can be relatively thin in thickness by a plurality of points of attachment which are separate and spaced from the insertion hole.
