If you are using an Acu-Rite thermometer, or something similar with a hanging slot on the back, here is another way to mount it using standard hardware. These aren't the greatest photos because my camera doesn't do close-ups very well.
You will need the following:
1- screw
2-washers
2-nuts
The screw head should be small enough for it to fit in the hanging slot and, depending on the size of your holes, the washers should be big enough to keep the nuts from passing through the holes.
First, take one of the nuts and put it on the screw approximately 1/8" or so from the head, then add a washer.
Insert the screw through the hole that you are using.
Add the other washer and then the nut and tighten down.
