Thanks for the warning about the AP22 ones.
I was going to buy them but I have decided to just chuck the AP behind the false ceiling instead.
The architect also said "no, they must be concealed."
the AP12 bracket really looks like you can only fit it once too. it took a worrying amount of force to remove...

Subject: Mounting & AP22 flush mount sleeves
Ok need to rant about the mounts on these APs, they really lack some simple intelligent design. First they're fairly difficult to mount so they are square to the room cuz of the offset 45 ish clips with no center lines to guide you. The mounting holes should also be a slotted radius so when you screw the mount to the wall or ceiling, snug it just enough, clip on the AP you should be able to rotate it slightly to adjust its rotation to fine tune the squareness to the walls or ceiling. Obviously if you're clipping to a ceiling grid this isn't an issue but mine are always installed on sheet rock and with no center line and no screw hole slots these are a PITA. I'm actually thinking of using other products cuz this is such a stupid amateurish design.
AP22 flush sleeve? Another poor design, no room for the wire connection, the sleeve should snap onto the AP or screws or something, fortunately gravity helps keep the together when ceiling mounted but I can see wall mounted APs will need something to keep them together.
The mounts and sleeve need an intelligent design upgrade. Ideally the sleeve should be the mount with slotted radius mounting hole and the the AP snap into that so it can be easily squared up and then secured together as one piece.
