OOK French Cleat, Picture and Mirror Hanger with Hardware, 100lb, Aluminum, 533208

This is such a terrific product and it is thoughtfully and well made. I used it to hang a wooden bookcase (all by myself) above my printer. I love the press-in level on the wall-mounted half of the cleat. Very thoughtful and makes it super easy to line it up properly. My usage was not typical. But on the other hand, it shows you just how amazingly useful a French cleat can be! In the photo you can see how I had to use tiny bolts and washers (purchased separately) to mount the other half of the cleat to the bookcase (which is actually made of wood so it only weighed 21 lbs; ; the backing is 1/4" plywood). I may paint these white or not if they're eventually covered up. Life is short. The thing that is so neat about the French cleat is that once you've mounted both halves of the cleat to the wall and to your item, there is NO fiddly lining things up. You just get the object above the wall cleat and slide it down until it settles into the groove. Love that! I am SO glad that I found this French cleat and I feel that this company does an exceptional job of manufacturing it. The instructions are spare and mostly visual, but they are clear and adequate to the task.

Works great

I had a really heavy particle board headboard that is like a bookshelf with multiple levels to it for my charging station and water, etc. Because I use a box spring, it felt like the headboard was too short and I was covering the shelves when I was sleeping. I knew I had to remove it from the frame and hang it on the wall about a foot higher... but I was scared of how to do this without ruining the headboard- the backing that faces the wall is just like strong cardboard so I can't just drill through it. I used this French cleat hardware and screwed directly into the top panel of the headboard- the small 1in side that touches the wall. I then found my wall's studs and hung the second French cleat to the wall securely. It was easier than hanging up a picture once the pieces were secured to the item/wall! I simply hung up the headboard on the ledge created by the French cleat. It's been about 5 months and there has been no issue or movement. 100% secure! Unfortunately because it's near impossible to find real wood furniture nowadays, the headboard is starting to come apart from ~gravity~ since it can only be held to the wall by the top panel. At no fault of this hardware, just basic physics lol Once I get a new headboard set up, I'll be keeping this hardware for future use of pretty much anything. I'm very very happy with it!

It was easy to install and is very sturdy whenever I need another one. I would buy this product again.

This was so easy to install and easiest picture hanging experience ever. All hardware was included and especially love the level piece that slides in to help make sure the wall piece is installed level. Very durable and best way to hang pictures, especially heavy ones.

I have a framed, Chinese needle silk picture that needed to be securely hung. Chinese silk pictures aren't painted. It's done with very fine and finely dyed thread, takes weeks to make and cost quite a bit. They're also exceptionally gorgeous. So I needed something secure. This is slated to hold 100 lbs, and the picture is only about 25 lbs at most (with frame and glass), so it was a bit of overkill on my part. The hanger kit comes with frame attachment screws that are about 1/2 of an inch long, which was okay for the frame I had. If you have a thinner frame, you'll need shorter screws. They self-tapped easily enough and the only trick was making sure the right side of the hanger was up and even with the frame. I recommend using an awl of some kind to center your holes before using the screws for best results. The sheetrock screws that come with the hanger worked, but you might want to be sure you don't have a stud behind the sheetrock before you start hanging the picture. The sheetrock screws have very wide threads and not very deep screwdriver holes (a Phillip's head), which means you'll have a lot of trouble with wood even if you have the right size of Phillip's screwdriver. Don't over-tighten them in the sheetrock, either. It's easy to strip out the plaster with the threads, leaving a large, useless hole. I avoided the above issues (at least I learned from my past mistakes), and it hung the picture very nicely. Again, a bit of a dent with an awl to center your holes is advised. The included level made the job a lot easier, and appeared to be accurate. In the end, it seems stable enough and unless we get a much more severe earthquake than we've had in the past, I expect the thing to stay put. it gets one star off because the bottom of the picture doesn't sit against the wall as I expected it to. Some foam padding under it will stabilize it so that if there IS an earthquake, it won't rattle against the wall (and maybe break the glass). At least I know it won't come off the wall.

I had a picture that kept falling down. It was suggested that I use there? And it’s perfect for my needs.

I would say it’s pretty good stability, my wall was somewhat halo and it still is holding onto my heavy mirror. Installation was easy as well

We purchased this to hang a rather heavy large-format painting in our foyer. It was easy to install, set up and hang the art. Alignment was not an issue at all. Very pleased!

Sehr gutes Systen. Einfach zu installieren. Es sollten aber mehr als jeweils vier Schrauben geliefert werden.

Worked great on a heavy mirror

Used to hang a heavy bathroom mirror. Easy to install, solid as a rock. Great product.
