1. An anchor component, comprising:
a base including a front side, a back side, a first side, a second side, a pivot end and a retainer end, the retainer end opposite the pivot end, the first side and the second side running between the retainer end and the pivot end, the second side opposite the first side;
at least first and second wall penetrating retainers located toward the retainer end and spaced apart from each other with the first wall penetrating retainer at the first side and the second wall penetrating retainer at the second side, the first wall penetrating retainer including a first wall penetrating extent that protrudes rearwardly of the back side of the base and has a curved configuration, the second wall penetrating retainer including a second wall penetrating extent that protrudes rearwardly of the back side of the base and has a curved configuration, wherein the curved configuration of the first wall penetrating extent curves toward the pivot end, wherein the curved configuration of the second wall penetrating extent curves toward the pivot end;
wherein the base, the first wall penetrating retainer and the second wall penetrating retainer are of monolithic configuration formed of a plate material that defines a plate thickness, wherein the plate material is bent so as to position the first and second wall penetrating retainers such that the first wall penetrating extent and the second wall penetrating extent protrude rearwardly, with the plate thickness, along the first wall penetrating extent and the second wall penetrating extent, running in a direction that extends from the first side toward the second side;
wherein the first wall penetrating extent and the second wall penetrating extent each have a length, a first curved surface portion facing toward the pivot end and a second curved surface portion facing away from the pivot end, wherein a dimension between the first curved surface portion and the second curved surface portion is constant along a majority of the length;
wherein the retainer end includes a tab portion that extends in a forward direction;
wherein a mount structure is spaced from the tab portion and extends in the forward direction;
wherein the tab portion and the mount structure are formed by respective bent portions of the plate material.
