Abstract: A method of removably mounting objects on a surface by embedding a magnet in the surface and securing it in place either of the following: providing a hollow insert which frictionally engages both the magnet and the surface, providing a restraining material which once affixed to the surface prevents the magnet from being dislodged, or affixing the magnet into the surface by means of a filler material. Means have also been provided to improve the mounting performance for different types of objects, including the following magnetically responsive tags which once affixed to the object increase its overall magnetism and including features on said magnetically responsive tags that engage with either the magnet installation directly or with engagement articles affixed to the surface in the vicinity of the installed magnet.
