A kit for mounting a fixture at a surface comprises first and second brackets for attaching to the fixture and for fixedly locating at the surface. The second bracket defines a cavity for receiving the first bracket in a mounting position of the kit, and the two brackets are connectable by a fastener passed through the pair of brackets arranged in the mounting position. The first bracket features a passageway opening at opposite sides of the bracket, and the second bracket features a fastener aperture and opposite thereto a tip receptacle for receiving a leading tip of the fastener, such that the second bracket is engaged by the fastener at more than one location to maintain the kit in the mounting position. The first and second brackets also feature a cooperating groove and ridge in the interior of the cavity, which are mated in the mounting position.
