Overview: Cleat Picture Hangers

We offer three different cleat hanging systems, classified as Light-Duty, Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty. All are based on the traditional "French Cleat" principle used in carpentry, where interlocking wood wedges are employed to hold an object in place.

Our modern aluminum extrusion cleat hangers create simple, strong and very reliable installations for virtually any flat object you want to hang on a wall: artwork, panels, signage, framed mirrors, etc.

The medium and heavy-duty versions are capable of supporting very heavy items that no other hanging method can handle. The light-duty versions are a quick and easy way to hang average-size wood and metal picture frames, plaques and signs.

Because cleats are available in different lengths within each weight classification and because there are other variables involved besides the capability of the cleat hardware itself, definitive weight parameters cannot be given for the three cleat classifications, but a general guideline appears below:
