In an embodiment, the mounting apparatus includes a cylindrical base including a mounting hole and a bottom surface having a securing pin. The mounting apparatus also includes a mounting assembly and a receptacle that has a bottom surface and inner surface forming a cylindrical receiving portion having a mounting hole. When the base is inserted into the receiving portion of the receptacle and rotated, the securing pin is received in the securing hole and the bottom surface of the base contacts the bottom surface of the receptacle. A securing member may be inserted through the mounting hole of the mounting assembly and mounting hole of the base into the mounting hole of the receiving portion to allow the base to be rotated during insertion and to secure the mounting apparatus to the support surface.
