METALCITI Las Vegas Aluminium Z-Bar French Cleat Hanging Rail, 300 mm (11.8″), Pre-Drilled (3 Holes), 56 kg

The METALCITI Las Vegas Z-Bar French Cleat Hanging Rail (Profile STR050) is an architectural-grade, heavy-duty interlocking mounting bracket engineered for flush, secure wall installations. Extruded from high-tensile structural aluminium and rated to support up to 56 kg (123 lbs), this 300 mm cleat creates a slim 12.8 mm shadow projection between the wall and the mounted item. Designed as an un-drilled rail for maximum fixing versatility, it allows installers, cabinetmakers, and gallery technicians to drill anchor points at exact stud or frame positions for mirrors, heavy artwork, acoustic panels, and wall cabinetry.

Key System Benefits

Heavy-Duty 56 kg Load Capacity — Precision-extruded structural aluminium profile safely supports substantial framed mirrors, heavy hardwood artwork, signage, and wall panels up to 56 kg (123 lbs).

Ultra-Slim 12.8 mm Wall Projection — Low-profile interlocking geometry holds panels tight and flush against the wall with just 12.8 mm clearance, eliminating unsightly gaps or forward tilt.

Secure 11.2 mm Lift-Off Interlock — Generous 11.2 mm vertical engagement lip ensures a positive mechanical lock that prevents accidental dislodgement from knocks or vibration while allowing easy lift-off removal.

Un-Drilled for Custom Fixing Placement — Supplied without factory pre-drilled holes so you can drill mounting points exactly where required to hit timber studs, masonry anchors, or narrow frame stiles.

Modular Interlocking Compatibility — Supplied as a single 300 mm rail section that mates seamlessly with any matching METALCITI Las Vegas STR050 rail length for continuous wall-to-wall runs or split-cleat mounting.

How to Install & Use Z-Bar French Cleats

1. Note on Pairing: A complete French cleat installation requires two interlocking rail sections—one mounted to the wall (lip facing upward) and a matching section mounted to the back of your item (lip facing downward).
2. Drill countersunk mounting holes through your 300 mm rail to align with your wall studs, masonry anchors, or frame timber.
3. Fix the wall cleat securely to the wall using a spirit level to ensure dead-level alignment, with the angled lip pointing up and away from the wall.
4. Attach the mating cleat section to the rear of your mirror, panel, or frame with the angled lip pointing downward.
5. Lift the item slightly above the wall cleat (allowing 11.2 mm lift-off clearance) and lower it straight down until both Z-bar profiles interlock firmly.

Load & Fixing Safety Note: The 56 kg rating represents the maximum structural capacity of the aluminium rail itself, not the wall substrate or screws. In almost all installations, wall plugs or undersized screws will fail before the aluminium cleat. Always use heavy-duty fixings matched to your wall type (brick, concrete, timber stud, or plasterboard) and confirm the substrate can safely carry the full weight of your display.
