I vote for French cleats, also. Maybe notch the cleats, so the racks
don't move laterally. Might not need to attach/adhere the racks to
the doors... the racks are not likely to lift off the cleats during
normal use. Can always permanently attach them, later, if so.


I like French Cleats for things that I might want to move around, and even
for some things that would be more permanent, but that don't lend
themselves well to simply screwing in place (asthetics, thin backing,
etc.). I'm missing why there have been a couple of suggestions for French
Cleats for this task though. Seems like it's extra work for no real
benefit. What am I missing?

If I use screws, they will come through the face. Yes, that would work, but
it would look bad.
