1. A surface mount bar assembly comprising:
a surface mount bracket adapted to be mounted to a planar surface;
a threaded shaft supported upon the surface mount bracket for rotation relative to the surface mount bracket;
a sleeve in threaded engagement with the threaded shaft with a sleeve aperture formed through the sleeve; and
a bar received for translation through the sleeve aperture for adjustability of a position of the bar relative to the surface mount bracket, the threaded shaft and the sleeve, whereby rotation of the threaded shaft in a first rotary direction locks the bar in the sleeve to maintain a position of the bar within the sleeve, and rotation of the threaded shaft in a second rotary direction that is opposite than the first rotary direction unlocks the bar in the sleeve to permit linear adjustment of the bar in a range of positions relative to the sleeve.
