General Cleat Hanger or Hanger Clip Information
Cleat Hangers, Hanger Clips also known as Z-Clips can be used in a wide variety of applications where large objects need to be hung on a flat surface. Cleat hangers are not just simple, but are a perfect solution to applications where the hardware needs to be concealed. In most installations the French Cleat Hanger or Hanger Clip one length of the cleat needs to be installed on a wall and another length flip upside down needs to be installed to the object being hung. Because the weight of the object is being dispersed along the entire length of the cleat, heavier objects can be hung very efficiently with cleat hangers. When properly affixed to any flat surface cleat hangers or hanger clips have an excellent shear strength.
When choosing the proper style of cleat there are a few factors to keep in mind. The weight of the object, the offset and the drop. The offset is the distance between the back of the object and the wall. The "Drop" or sometimes referred to as the "Lift" is the distance the cleat drops as it nest into the opposing cleat. For obvious reasons, typically 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 of the Light Duty (Smaller Offset) cleats. If the offset is not critical you should use the Heavy Duty Cleat Hangers or Hanger Cleats.
