Wood Cleat Kit includes
Light-Duty Cleat Hangers are normally attached to the wall with the screws and plastic anchors supplied. This fastening method creates a solid, stable support for the frame. You can substitute different fastener hardware if you prefer.
The 18" cleats have five pre-punched holes four inches on center. Only very minimal leveling adjustments are possible after installation so it is imperative to mount cleats as level as possible the first time.
If you are using a Light-Duty Cleat Hanger on a narrow wood frame with a long horizontal span, make certain that the frame is sufficiently braced internally so that the frame's top rail will remain rigid under load. The cleat is 1 1/8 inches wide so the wood frame must be at least that width to accommodate the cleat.
We have a number of customers who have used Light-Duty Cleats to hang something with a backing material that is either too thin or too soft to accept screw fasteners. In these cases usually either a silicone-based liquid adhesive or a good quality double-sided foam-backed tape has been used to attach the cleat instead of screws. In these situations be aware that the adhesive you use must adhere equally well to the aluminum cleat and whatever backing material you are dealing with and create a permanent bond on both surfaces.

There is so much play between the picture frame cleat and the wall cleat that these would have been completely unusable if it weren't for a friend in the construction industry who figured out a way to tighten the gap between the two cleats. Cleats that are angled at 45 degrees work far better than this 90 degree version. That being said, these items were delivered on time and with a lot of communication from Picture Hang Solutions so my experience with the company was great. They just need to replace this item with a better version of it.
Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We apologize for getting back to you just now. We are sorry that the cleats did not work as you expected. We offer a variety of cleats to suit the needs of our customers. If you need cleats that have a 45 degree angle, we have that available here. We hope that this does not stop you from purchasing from us for your picture hanging needs in the future. Please feel free to message us when you have any other questions and concerns. We are always happy to help. Sincerely, Picture Hang Solutions
