HH72 - 1 Pair - 24 inch Heavy Duty Cleat

Our Frameware, Inc. heavy-duty cleats are made in the USA from 0.06 extruded, mill-finish aluminum. Holes are 4" apart on center, which allows for multiple points of attachment on artwork and walls. Oval holes allow for leveling adjustments and will accommodate up to a #10 screw. Typical installation uses 6 #6x1/2" screws to attach cleat to frame and 6 #8x1" screws plus anchors to attach the second cleat to the wall. Generally, cleats should be at least 4" narrower than the picture being hung. This allows for easy centering as the picture can be shifted back and forth. Pictures hang flush to the wall with approximately 1/4" of space. When hanging very heavy pieces, a second pair of cleats can be used at the bottom of the picture for additional support. Can be used with locking t-screws for a highly effective security installation. Cleats are commonly used to install hard-to-hang items such as heavy mirrors, signage, and headboards.
