I'm looking for some hardware to hang a cabinet. What I need is
somthing like this:
http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/pa...914,50426&ap=4

except horizontal instead of vertical. That is, the plate would be
attached horizontally to the cabinet, but the keyhole would still be
vertical.

I've been googling around and haven't been able to come up with
anything. Does anyone know of a source?

You might just make a cleat solution, like shown here

or

Get a keyhole router bit and don't use a plate, just cut the slot in
the wood. http://www.toolbarn.com/bits/router/bits/keyhole.html

The cleat wouldn't work because the cabinet has to sit flush against
the wall and the back isn't recessed to allow an inset cleat.

The keyhole bit might work but it would be an awkward cut.

(This isn't my project. A friend bought a cabinet and expected it to
have a mounting plate like the one I described because a previous one
he bought did, but this one didn't. So he's looking for one.)

Thanks for the suggestions.

A French cleat should solve that problem.

It is called a Freedom Cleat now.

Some places they're called z clips.

If the back of the cabinet is not inset and the cabinet must be flush with
the wall, then a French cleat will not solve the problem unless the owner is
willing to modify the cabinet.

Agreed; however, my guess is that if you picked up the cabinet and
held it against the wall, there would still be some gaps since the
wall and/or the cabinet back are not totally flat.

My guess this is much to do about little.

What material is the back? How is it mounted to the cabinet?

I don't know. Like I said above, this isn't my project, but a
friend's. From the sound of it he was expecting the cabinet to have
the sort of hardware that I described so he prepared the wall
accordingly with a horizontal 2x4 into which he'd drive the screws to
hang it on. When the cabinet arrived without the mounting brackets, I
figured they'd be easy enough to find so I didn't ask about whether he
could screw through the cabinet back and into the wall. I guess
that's the next thing for him to consider.
