2 Inch Aluminum French Cleat Picture Hangers — 2 Pairs
Product description
What’s included: Two pairs of 2-inch aluminum French cleat Z-hangers, four self-tapping screws, four self-drilling screws, four expansion rubber plugs, and four clear adhesive bumpers. The kit also contains a small square spirit level to help align the cleats during installation.
Materials and size: Each cleat is made from lightweight aluminum and is two inches wide, designed to be slim yet sturdy so mounted items sit close to the wall. The hardware set supplies both self-tapping and self-drilling screw options and rubber expansion plugs for hollow or masonry walls. Adhesive corner bumpers are provided to protect artwork and keep it from rubbing the wall.
How it installs: Attach one half of the cleat to the wall using the appropriate screws and anchors for your wall type, then fix the matching half to the back of the frame, headboard, shelf or panel. The two pieces interlock to create a stable hanging surface; the included mini level helps ensure proper alignment. For surfaces like wood or studs you can use the self-tapping screws directly; for drywall or concrete use the expansion plugs and the self-drilling screws as appropriate.
Uses: These Z-bar cleats are suitable for hanging framed artwork, mirrors, floating shelves, headboards, cabinets, partitions, whiteboards and decorative panels. Their low-profile design makes them ideal when you want a clean, nearly invisible mount.
Care and tips: The cleats are reusable and allow you to rearrange wall art easily. If you plan to hang very heavy or bulky items, fit additional screws or swap in heavier-duty anchors to increase safety and prevent pull-out. The included bumpers cushion corners and prevent scuffs once the piece is in place.

Mounted my King-size headboard solidly
Used these to attach a heavy wooden King headboard. I upgraded to stronger anchors and installed two cleats per side; the headboard sits firm with no wobble and lifts off the cleats when I want to remove it.

Perfect for RV installs
Simple to fit and reliable — ideal for securing pictures inside an RV where vibration and movement are a concern.

Sturdy and straightforward to fit
Ideal for two heavy artworks already set up for cleats. Installation was quick and I’m confident the pieces are securely attached.

My go-to hanger for lots of items
I keep these on hand for pictures, mirrors and clocks. Far easier and sturdier than the flimsy hangers that often come with wall items.

Holds narrow frames flush
Excellent solution. I mounted two 8x20" paintings in a tight hallway; hanging wire made the tops tilt forward on those slim frames. The cleats keep them snug to the wall, look professional and feel secure. Very happy.

Great for metal prints — glue to back
Worked well for a metal print: I glued the cleat to the artwork and screwed the wall cleat in place. I drilled an extra hole to match my existing wall screws. Held the weight and the low profile is nice; the included spacers were helpful.

They work
Bought the 2-inch size — they looked small but held up well. I reinforced the wall anchors with sturdier ones of the same diameter for extra security.

Screws a touch long for some frames
Holds the picture tight to the wall and I’m pleased overall. The supplied screws were a bit long for my application so I shortened them to fit.

Invisible shelf mounting
Exactly what I needed to mount a small shelf discreetly. The cleat is thin and sits flush, so the result looks clean and unobtrusive.

Reliable for years of use
I’ve used these cleats for displaying pictures and heavy artwork for several years. Installation is straightforward: one part fastens to the wall and the other to the piece, and they interlock to create a secure, level mount. They’ve handled everything from small frames to large mirrors with consistent stability.

Supports a heavy floating console
Robust construction allowed a near-flush mount. I used both cleat pairs to hang a 1.9m (75") long, 18kg teak floating TV console and it holds without issues.

Peace of mind for heavy mirrors
Hung a heavy mirror and the long cleat offered more coverage on the back than most hangers. It keeps the mirror from shifting and gives reassurance to anyone sitting underneath.
