French Cleat Hanger 30" Includes Anchor, Screws, and Bumpers - Mirror Hanging Kit, Z Clip, French Cleat Hanger Heavy Duty for Mirrors, Pictures, Art, Ledges, Cabinets - Aluminum Z Bar Cleat - 1 Pack

The first order the item was bent to fit in the Amazon box. I returned it and replacedwith the same item and it came as expected. Looks sturdy, but I haven't hung the mirrorit's intended for yet.

We purchased a mirror that weighs 110 lbs (it's big!) and attempted to hang it with screws in the wall and wire. Broke the wire and pulled out the screws. We knew we needed something VERY sturdy to handle it. These cleats were perfect! Installation on the back of the mirror required removing some original hardware and ensuring the back was level all the way across. The wall anchors furnished with the cleats pulled out of the wall and/or spun when tightened. After changing the wall anchors to another type (the anchors themselves screw into the drywall), the wall cleat was finally attached. Leveling the wall cleat is crucial to getting a nice level mirror, so that took some time. Lifted the mirror, brought it down slowly and the two cleats meshed together perfectly! The mirror is now mounted solidly to the wall.Great product for what it does. The insallation guide could me a little more clear and the drywall anchors need to be upgraded. Oh yeah, I also made sure the wall cleat was secured to two wall studs. It's not coming down unless we take it down.

I bought the 30 inch cleat to hold this antique transom window that is over 6 ft long,that i gave new life and purpose too. I was a little scared to have something so heavy over my head but once i got it up there the cleats didn’t budge and it’s holding strong. Buying a second one right now for my next project.

I wanted cleats in my painting studio to hang canvases I would be working on. I wondered who I could get to rip some wooden ones on a table saw. Then I thought of these! I bought the 30" sets and the 6" sets. The biggest worry I had was finding the sizes from the same company to be sure they would work together. These match and work well. I put the 30" on the wall and a couple of 6" on a blank canvas. And they don't take up valuable floor space and hang level. Also the edges are exposed all around the perimeter of the canvas so I can paint the sides all at once and not have to flip it around on an easel when the first two sides have dried.Also, if i want to hang several pieces at once I can. And if I want some sort of small horizontal tray on the wall beneath the painting for paints or whatever I can build that easily. Yay!

Used 2 on a plaster and lath wall to hang a solid wood headboard (we use two twin bead frames instead of a single king). Our wall was at a minimum a quarter inch off of flat, and our old house doesn't have wall studs a standard distance apart, so it took a little finesse to get both (a) as many fasteners into studs as possible and (b) enough washers installed behind the cleat to make sure it was flat enough that it would mount the actually flat (or mostly flat) headboard. None of these are faults of the cleat itself, but are common enough problems that it's something to take into consideration. I think more options for places to put the fasteners would be possible, without compromising the structural integrity of the cleats, which would make it 5 stars.

Missing mounting hardware. Problem was corrected immediately by the manufacturer

Strong metal. I used this to hang a 40lb(?) mirror on my sheet rock bathroom wall. I did need shorter screws to attach to the back of mirror frame but I used glue also and it's been up a couple weeks with no visible problems. Kinda had a hard time get it level but it was my first time using this type of hanger.

Probably good for lighter duty stuff like paintings. I wouldn't use it on anything very heavy
