- The piece has suitable backing or frame hardware.
- A flush, interlocking mount is desirable.
- You can verify weight, width, wall condition, and fasteners.
Pause or choose another path when...
- The wall is damaged, unknown, or unsuitable for the fastener.

Common questions
Before you choose a cleat.
How do I choose the right French cleat?
Start with what you are hanging, the width of the object, the frame or backing material, wall condition, and the product's specific rating.
Can I use a French cleat on drywall?
Some cleat products are presented for drywall use, but the right choice depends on the product, wall condition, fasteners, and load. Use the product page for the exact rating and install guidance.
Are all cleats rated the same?
No. Each cleat has its own rating. This page shows ratings only next to the specific product they belong to.
What if the piece needs to be tamper-resistant?
Choose a cleat that fits the job first, then consider a compatible security add-on. Security hardware does not replace the cleat's load rating.
Next step
Narrow the choice, then verify the exact product.
Use the finder for a guided path, or compare the cleat products above and open the PDP that matches the job.
