2-Pairs Heavy Duty 41 inch Aluminum Alloy French Cleat Hanger, Z Bar Clips Mount for Hanging Mirror Picture, 500 Pound Max Load Secure Wall Mounting Interlocking Brackets Z Hangers, Hardware Include

I used a pair of these cleats to hang a large painting measuring more than 10 feet wide. The longer cleats work really well because they permit you to hit multiple studs. The holes are drilled to align with 16" studs which made attachment easy. I used very long construction screws to go directly into the studs, which is advisable. But the hardware also came with a nice assortment of plastic anchors and screws that would be useful for added strength in drywall or masonry. I was especially surprised to see they even included a mortar drill bit for an SDS hammer drill, which few homeowners are likely to have. This would make very quick work of any hard masonry. Once placed level on the wall, the cleat system permits considerable horizontal adjustment which making them strong, convenient and forgiving. This job would have been infinitely more difficult using anchors alone.

These work awesome for being able to quickly shuffle around tool or part organizers. I doubt these would hold heavy metal garage cabinets without quadruple brackets on the back of the cabinet. I cut them to size for my organizer with an angle grinder and it took considerable time. Definitely quality metal (cross section pictured). I got everything lined up perfectly so I can slide the organizers over, no lifting needed to reposition them. One tip; if you do multiple cleats, do the top row first so you can hang it while fitting the bottom row and use a good level. Don’t forget you need approximately 30cm of top clearance so whatever you mount can be lifted up to be removed or repositioned.

I was a little intimidated hanging something as heavy as an expensive custom floor mirror. After we had this delivered we decided that we would try anyway. Vacuuming and cleaning around the mirror wasn’t something we wanted to do weekly.I used the 30 inch cleat and was able to screw to the studs on the wall with just two screws. I used every screw hole on the back of the mirror out of an abundance of caution.I pre-drilled all of the holes to avoid splitting the mirror’s frame and the wall holes as well to make certain I was getting the studs. I didn’t use the drill bit that came with the kit, but it looks sturdy and will go in my tools.It was easy to install and I feel it will hold well. I was actually very impressed with the ease of hanging once everything was secured.This was my first French Cleat and I think I could use it for other things as well. The stud finder was an huge help and made me feel confident it will hold.

I was avoiding hanging a very large mirror that my wife and I purchased as I was not certain how the wall could support the weight. The manufacturer sent it with a cable type hanger, and I knew in order to mount this in the position that I wanted to on the wall that cable style hanger would not work. I have hung pictures before with French cleats, but did not think they would be sufficient to bear the weight of this very large mirror - then I found these. These French cleats are very substantial, much more so than the smaller types sold in Home Depot. I used both in order to support this wood back mirror, attaching one on the bottom and one on the top to further distribute the load. As the wall is built from metal studs, I needed to use toggles to fasten this cleat into the wall system. Because these cleats are so substantial, the cleat allowed me to span four metal studs on both top and bottom, easily distributing the weight. I have no doubt that this mirror will never accidentally come off the wall. This is such a great solution for hanging large items on any type of wall.

The screws for mounting the mount to the mirror were 3/4 inch long instead of the size on the package which said 1/2 inch making them unusable. Also, the screw anchors weren't compatible for 1/2 inch drywall making them unusable. Basically, I had to provide the proper fasteners for the install.

Used it to hang my DIY projector screen. Very sturdy.

These are amazing and worked perfectly to hang large art panels. It made the job easier and turned out perfectly straight. They are VERY flush to the wall.

I was going to ask a wood-working friend to cut me a french cleat for my DIY home theatre screen when I came across these on amazon. These are way thinner profiled, are well made and reasonably light. They can hold up to 200 lbs with a 30" length. It's perfect for my need and I'm glad I ordered these. Plan to install them next weekend.
