The french cleat idea is a great one (and one I'll likely use instead of my idea of a nailer inside the cabinet). Would it be considered sacrilege to put a brad into the box joints? Would it risk splitting?




Keep in mind that a French cleat, to be the safest install, still needs
a screw or two to hold it into position. The cabinet could be pulled
out from the wall and fall if not permanently fastened. That said the
French cleat is still a good way for one person to hang a cabinet. This
is not furniture so screws, brads, etc are acceptable.
