Default Metal "French Cleats" - How Much Weight?

I would be really careful using drywall screws in a load-bearing
situation. Too many horror-stories.



You have my couriousity. Why not use dry screws on a load bearing wall
for hanging a French cleat? What difference does it make whether the wall
is load bearing or not?

You don't have to explain to me that there are better screws for this type
application, I have been using square drive screws since the 80's.



OK! Never mind! Its early! I read that wrong 5 times! I read "load
bearing wall" you said, "load bearing situation".

Sorry. ;~)
