HH03 - 1 Pair - 24 inch Hanging Cleat

Interlocking cleats, also sometimes called Z-bar or hanging cleat, are used to hang heavy pictures or panels securely and flush against the wall. Cleats are sold by the pair--one piece of cleat mounts to the back of the picture, the other mounts to the wall.

• Cleats are made in the USA from 0.06 extruded, mill-finish aluminum.
• Holes are 2" apart on center, which allows for multiple points of attachment on artwork and walls.
• Round holes hold firmly and will accommodate up to a #10 screw.
• Typical installation uses 12 #6x1/2" screws to attach cleat to frame and 12 #8x1" screws plus anchors to attach the second cleat to the wall.
• Generally, cleats should be at least 4" narrower than the picture being hung. This allows for easy centering as the picture can be shifted back and forth.
• Pictures hang flush to the wall with approximately 1/4" of space.
• When hanging very heavy pieces, a second pair of cleats can be used at the bottom of the picture for additional support.
• Can be used with locking t-screws for a highly effective security installation.
• Cleats are commonly used to install hard-to-hang items such as heavy mirrors, signage, and headboards.
