french cleat
How will your recognition display mount on the wall?
The vast majority of our wall-mounted recognition displays are hung using one or more French cleats. A French cleat is a horizontal board that is cut to angle up along its length.
The French cleat is attached to the wall using a level with the angle pointing toward the ceiling. A corresponding angle is cut into the display allowing it to be lowered onto the French cleat. The weight of the display forces it flush against the wall. In fact, a great number of kitchen cabinets are hung using this same French cleat system.
Below is a step-by-step pictorial guide that may be helpful when installing your display.
