French Cleat Hangers, also known as Z-clips, are a commonly used tool for hanging signs, cabinets, panels, boxes or any large object that needs support across its full length for mounting. Cleat hangers can be used in a wide variety of applications where large objects need to be mounted along a flat surface.
French Cleat Hangers are not only simple and effective tools for sturdy mounting – they also provide the ideal solution for projects where hardware needs to be hidden from sight. Unlike other hangers, clips or nails, the French Cleat makes for a clean suspension that ensures viewers are focused on the visual of your hung object, not the hardware used to fasten it.
In most installations, the hanger clip one length of the cleat needs to be installed on a wall and another length flipped upside down needs to be fastened to the object being hung. Because the weight of the object is being dispersed along the entire length of the hardware, heavier objects can be mounted efficiently and securely with cleat hangers. When properly affixed to flat surfaces, cleat hangers or hanger clips display your shelving, artwork, signs, mirrors, laminate-clad paneling and more with impeccable strength.
When choosing the proper style of cleat there are a few factors to keep in mind: particularly, the weight of the object, the offset and the drop. The offset is the distance between the back of the object and the wall, and the drop – sometimes referred to as the "lift" – is the distance the cleat drops as it nestles into the opposing track. So, typically speaking, the heavier duty the cleat, the larger the offset and the drop.
If you are hanging a heavy object that needs to be mounted as close to the wall as possible you would want to use more length and light duty (smaller offset) cleats. If the offset is not critical you should use heavy duty French Cleat Hangers.
Since most projects require two cleat hangers, one to mount to the wall and one attached to the object to be hung, our French Cleat Hangers are sold in pairs. However, we do offer combinations of different sizes for custom projects upon request.
