I have an antique wall phone which has been modified to work with
today's modular jacks. Problem is, the phone lacks the mounting
hardware on the back which slides over the two slightly protruding screw
heads which are found on a standard telephone switchplate, or wall
plate. Does anyone know of an online hardware store that carries such a
two hole "keyhole" type mount for wall mounting a telephone? I've found
single keyhole mounts, but would prefer the type that's specifically
made for telephones if they're available.
TIA.

One such plate with filter was in the kit that came with my dsl kit
from the phone company, ask around I can't imagine many folks use them.

Can't you just put two scres in place on the wall with the correct
spacing and then slide the wall phone down on the two screws? IIRC,
the spacing is 4" between the two screws.

Thanks for the response.

The hardware on the wall is already in place. What I need is the
hardware that goes on the phone. I could use two separate keyhole
mounts, but I'd prefer to find a single plate with two keyholes in it.
I thought maybe someone manufactures one specifically for this purpose.
