Installation Tips
Following a few key guidelines, you can create a setup that provides quick access without compromising security.
Use the Right Hardware
The correct hardware is critical when installing the Alias Hard Mount Receiver. The right screws keep your holster in place, whether it’s mounted under a desk or in your vehicle.
For each surface, make sure you’re selecting screws that are appropriate for the material – whether it’s wood, metal, or plastic. This prevents any wobbling or shifting over time.
As mentioned above, precise drilling is important, and using the correct drill bits for your hardware will result in a more secure fit and smoother installation process.
Avoid Common Mistakes
One of the most common mistakes when mounting the Alias Hard Mount Receiver is not securing it properly. Failing to use the correct screws for the surface you’re attaching it to, or picking screws that are too short, will lead to a loose or unstable attachment.
Another mistake is selecting an unstable surface, like a thin, hollow panel that won’t support the weight of the Hard Mount Reciever, holster, and firearm (especially with repeated use). Always choose sturdy, solid surfaces that can handle the daily stress of holstering and unholstering your firearm.
