Default Metal "French Cleats" - How Much Weight?


"charlieb" wrote in message
...

I'm only going to be able to catch two studs to screw into
and the Z clip stock is 3 1/8" tall by 3/16" thick so I can
get two screws into each stud.

So my question:
Will these things support 200+ pounds if done as described
above? I REALLY don't want this thing to come off the wall
- figuratively and literally.

When doubt could you use a double row of these for double strength?
Alternatively, Rockler sells these and also sells steel cleats claiming,
Hardened steel for outstanding strength and durability. 18'' in length.
Protrudes 7/16'' from wall when pieces are assembled.

Also, did you get my e-mail? I was inquiring to see if you might be
interested in a better 24 page Domino owners manual in pdf format? Festool
e-mailed it to me and I would be glad to send it to you.
