French Cleat Picture Hanger 2 Inches Aluminum Z Hanger Supports 30lbs - Interlocking Wall Mounting Bracket Hardware Kit for Hanging Mirrors, Picture, Shelf, Whiteboard, Art, Frames (2"-2Pairs)

I have purchased a few different types of hanging hardware for projects. These are the best ones. Don't even bother ordering anything else. I got 6 inch cleats for hanging small shelves in my bathroom and 18 inch for a belt/tie rack I made my husband for Christmas out of recycled barn wood. As shown in the photos, they come with stick-on silicon spacers for the bottom that are the same thickness as the brackets so your object hangs evenly. I will definitely purchase this brand for all my projects.These cleats make removing and replacing the object for cleaning effortless. FYI, the "18 inch" cleats are only 17.5 inches in length, which didn't matter for my purposes. The cleats are very snug to the wall so this is really sturdy and will hold a lot of weight if properly installed, I made sure to hit at least one stud with the screws for the cleat mounted to the wall and used the included sheetrock hangers for the rest. Many items that I have ordered from Amazon don't have the best screws included but these ones are good.

I used these to hang twin headboards on the wall. excellent results!!

The naive will say how hard can a 36 x 42 beveled mirror be to hang? OK, so I have been at a standstill for a while, living with this honking big mirror that I hung with "traditional" wire and eye hole screws, that make an elegant thing looks like untrained monkeys hung it.French Cleats.These are designed in different sizes to get an appropriate cleats to hold heavier objects. How much does this thing weigh that you want to hang? Get on the scale, weigh yourself and then you and your thing.No guesswork is the first advantage working with big or heavy objects.and the next is knowing exactly where to use these and how. For me, it is essential; Glasses can correct only so much, but I'd be loathe to admit that.If you are hanging a framed mirror such as what I am doing, I can't make it any easier than to take a couple of laser readings to make sure I am installing it correctly. A heavier piece like what I have and is going in a bathroom requires more work which is not my purpose here.These arrived swiftly and safely and are as advertised. I'm pleased.If you are a pro or a homeowner with a death wish, you might find cleats cheaper. If you are really squeezing your pennies, check with a paint dealer where you live. They should have them reasonably. I didn't go to that much trouble, and you can't argue the price that I got here.I am writing this, a week before Christmas, so that proves right up front that I am nuts approaching this nonsense. No, you don't understand. Redecorating my bathroom has been an ongoing project for two years. It was down to hanging the very last thing on the wall and I was/am over time-eating projects with scant results.For those that celebrate Christmas, have a very merry. There are so many beliefs and religions in our world. I don't puzzle what you might think. At the end of the year, I believe that every sort of beliefs celebrate something special in their hearts. God bless them in each of their higher powers. Of the atheists, who think that all of this is nonsense, I get it. Hang your damn mirror and get on with. Smart. I'll do just that.I'll try to pop a picture of it later to share.

I purchased a 4 pair of the 2” hangers. Since I did not have the tools or skill to make keyholes on the back of my spice rack, these were a great solution to hang as flush as possible to the wall. I installed one hanger to each of the four corners of the spice rack. It was a bit of a challenge getting everything leveled out. Since the hangers can slide on, they were a little forgiving if you have issues leveling. I would buy again.

Good sturdy

These are great solutions for hanging heavier pictures. They are easy to install.

The French cleat is the best hardware for precision mounting heavier mirrors and pictures to a hollow wall ... perfect for laser alignment.It's a single-lift mount from floor-to-wall solution. There is no futzing with cables or wires or finding bolt heads.For a 2" length, assuming I'm not lucky enough to center the frame on a stud, I'll mount with larger hollow wall anchors.I've hung "hundred-pounder" fancy mirrors with a longer cleat that can be secured across the 16" stud distance.

We purchased sconces to go on a brick fireplace, but they did not include proper hardware. These French cleats were perfect. I have attached a photo (before it is properly wired, and I also removed the unsightly hook at the top).
