Where to get French Cleats?
We've got a large (6' * 3') mirror to go over the mantle. I could
make my own french cleats from timber, but I'd rather use metal to get it as flush as possible. I've tried my local DIY store and the internet to no avail. Well, that's not quite true. I have no trouble locating them in the US: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?O...Select=Details A sexier version, "The Hangman": http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?O...Select=Details Any idea where I can find them? Perhaps they have a different name on this side of the pond? Thanks. |

Anyway, I could buy the steel cleats from that US site and, even with the international shipping, it'd be cheaper  . |
