The Frame Hanging Cleat is a specialized mounting component designed for the installation of mirror frames. Constructed from aluminum with a mill finish, this cleat provides a structural support system for wall-mounted mirrors. The cleat features a unique stepped profile that holds the mirror frame away from the wall surface, which helps prevent moisture from being trapped behind the mirror. This design also serves to conceal mounting screws and support hardware, providing a clean appearance for the finished installation. The cleat has a height of 1-1/4" and a base width of 5/16". It measures 144" in total length, allowing for custom cutting to fit various mirror sizes and frame configurations. This component is intended for use in residential and commercial mirror frame hanging applications where a stable and moisture-resistant mounting solution is required. The aluminum construction provides structural support of mirror frames.
