A system and method for securing a volume holder to a surface is provided. Generally, the system and method utilizes a base or volume holder containing one or more magnets or ferrous materials. The volume holder and base are attracted to one another through magnetic forces. The base may be attached directly to a surface or the base may be attached to a sub-base. The base or sub-base are attached to a surface and a volume holder is removably secured to the base. The system and method may be temporary, permanent, or semi-permanent.
