An apparatus and method are provided for affixing an object to a surface. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a magnet formed with an opening at its center. The magnet is attached to the surface by inserting a screw into the opening. A spacer and a flat washer are attached to the screw, with the spacer being positioned between the flat washer and the magnet. After the screw is affixed to the surface, a metal object can be magnetically attached to the screw and magnet to secure the object to the surface. A backer plate is also contemplated for securing non-magnetic objects to the screw and magnet. Multiple backer plates can be affixed to objects to support a greater amount of weight if required.
