No more re-drilling. Twist to level.
A French cleat you can fine-tune after it's on the wall. The screw hole is offset from the center of the cone-shaped disc — rotate the disc and the height shifts within an 8 mm range (±4 mm / ≈5/16"). Because the disc is a 45° cone, the frame-side cleat bar seats at any rotation angle.
We photograph framed artwork for a living: hang, shoot, swap, level, repeat. We designed this for our own studio wall, and after the response on Instagram (1M+ views), we're making the files freely available. A one-page print & install guide (PDF) is included.
