Thanks everyone for your advice and warnings. I am not going to have a new outlet installed because I am planning to remodel those stairs in he nest year or so and that wall will be going away. For the time being I am going to run the cord of the surge protector around the corner to the outlet in the room off of the hallway. It has occurred to me that I may really hate having this set up in the closet and that drilling a hole in my wall might be a little premature. *smile*

It would require there be a ground and a neutral available in the box, so somebody with a little experience might be best to do this, but if the wires are there it should be very easy.
