Abstract
Examples of a method for installing a mounting bracket to a T-bar of a suspended ceiling are disclosed. A method involves engaging at least one flange hook of a bracket body of a mounting bracket with a first edge of a flange of a T-bar, applying force to a locking mechanism of a toolless locking element of the mounting bracket to free up a slidable piece of the toolless locking element, while the force is applied to the locking mechanism, moving the slidable piece towards a second edge of the flange of the T-bar until a flange hook of the slidable piece engages the second edge of the flange of the T-bar, and after the flange hook of the slidable piece engages the second edge of the flange of the T-bar, releasing the force on the locking mechanism so that the slidable piece is locked in place.
