Cable ties are great, but without a stable place to anchor them, they can only do so much.
That’s where cable tie mounts come in. If you’ve ever had cables sliding down a wall, cords dangling off a panel, or wires that just won’t stay in place, a mounting solution changes everything.
What Are Cable Tie Mounts, Really?
Cable tie mounts give your zip ties a home base. They stick or screw onto a surface and allow you to thread a zip tie through them, holding wires, hoses or bundles exactly where you want them.
There are two main types:
- Adhesive cable mounts: Stick-on bases for flat, clean surfaces
- Saddle mounts: Small screw-in brackets that hold a cable tie in place
Both let you use zip ties more securely and cleanly, especially when space or movement is a concern.
Why Just Using a Zip Tie Is Not Always Enough
A zip tie wraps around a bundle. That’s great for holding items together. But what if you need that bundle attached to something?
Without a mount, the tied bundle will still move, droop or slide around. This can lead to:
- Damaged cables
- Tripping hazards
- A messy appearance
- Wasted time fixing or replacing things
Cable tie mounts solve all of this. They turn your zip tie into a full-on mounting system.

Adhesive vs Saddle Mounts: What’s the Difference?
Both types are useful, but they serve slightly different needs.
Adhesive Cable Mounts
- Fast, clean setup
- Great for walls, desks, panels
- Peel and stick — no tools needed
- Ideal for lighter loads and indoor spaces
Saddle Mounts
- Installed using a small screw
- Handles heavier cables or gear
- Better suited for rough or uneven surfaces
-
Great for garages, workshops and job sites
Grizzly offers both styles in different sizes and colors to match your setup.

How to Use Cable Tie Mounts Like a Pro
It’s easy to get started. Here’s how to make sure you get it right:
- Clean the surface first. For adhesive mounts, dust, oil or moisture can reduce sticking power. Use alcohol wipes or a clean dry cloth.
- Peel and press firmly. Hold the adhesive mount in place for 30 seconds for best grip.
- Use screws when needed. For saddle mounts or extra security, install with a drill or screwdriver.
- Thread your zip tie through the mount, then loop it around the bundle.
- Pull tight and snip the excess.
You’re done. Clean, solid and professional.
Best Places to Use Them (And Why They Work So Well)
Mounts make cable ties even more useful, especially when you need stability and control. Some of the best spots to use them:
- Under desks for cable routing
- Along baseboards to keep wires out of the way
- Inside electrical panels or cabinets
- In garages to hold air hoses or tool cords
- On walls or ceilings for neat vertical runs
- On vehicles or trailers to anchor wiring
Basically, any time you need things to stay put, a tie and a mount are a winning pair.
