Abstract
A retainer for securing wires in a locatable position in a ceiling or wall structure after the structure has been shut in. The retainer has a mounting surface with terminals to which the wires are attached. The terminals are each connected to conductive path so that a signal applied to the opposite ends of the wire can be sensed by a tone generator. The retainer has wins or tabs securable to the framing members prior to being walled-in. A magnetic locator on the mounting surface allows a technician to accurately locate a center point for cutting an opening to receive a device such as a sound system speaker.
