SWMBO got a painted piece of slate with our last name, etc. that

to mount it outside on our stone facade next to the front door.
Problem is that it is very windy where we live, with gusts to 30mph+
very common. I need some way of securing it to the facade other than
just the leather strap hanging from a nail or it is going to rattle
to the point of driving us crazy. Any takers?

Would it be possible to attached a French Cleat to both surfaces?

use silicone to glue the piece of french cleat to the slate, and for the
opposite side to the wall. i use this technique to hang heavy glass
sculptures to vertical surfaces.
