The Anaheim 2000 mm (approx. 79″) aluminium French cleat Z-Bar mounting rail is a precision-engineered, heavy-duty solution designed for secure, flush wall-hanging of large artwork frames, mirrors, acoustic panels, headboards, and commercial signage. Featuring an un-drilled blank profile, this rail gives trade installers, joiners, and interior fitters complete freedom to drill custom fixing holes matching exact wall stud centres or masonry anchoring points without compromise.
Key System Benefits
Heavy-Duty 230 kg Weight Support — Structural aluminium profile supports up to 230 kg when properly anchored to solid masonry or wall timber studs.
Un-Drilled Custom Profile — Blank channel allows custom hole drilling on site to align perfectly with wall studs, electrical conduits, or pre-existing wall anchors.
Ultra-Slim 9.5 mm Projection — Low-profile interlocking design holds heavy items nearly flush to the wall with just 9.5 mm total depth projection for a sleek, floating appearance.
Modular & Mix-and-Match Compatible — Interlocks seamlessly with all rail lengths within the Metalciti Anaheim Series, allowing you to pair a 2000 mm wall rail with shorter cleat segments on your frame.

Series Compatibility: Interlocks with all Metalciti Anaheim Series Z-Bar cleat configurations
Modular Z-Bar Interlocking System Guide
The Anaheim Z-Bar system is engineered with a fully modular design. Because the interlocking cleat profile remains consistent across the entire Metalciti Anaheim range, a longer rail mounted horizontally to the wall can easily support shorter rail segments attached to your frame or panel—or vice versa. This lets you purchase exact individual quantities, adjust anchor placement around existing wall studs, and create custom configurations without paying for excess hardware.
Common Installation Configurations:
• Standard Continuous Fit: One 2000 mm rail on the wall paired with one 2000 mm rail on the item.
• Split Anchor Fit: One 1200mm rail on the wall paired with two or three 300mm rail segments mounted across the back of the item.
• Custom Offset Fit: One 900mm rail on the wall paired with three 50mm rails on the item.
Installation & Structural Load Safety
- Measure and drill custom fixing holes along the un-drilled aluminium channel using an appropriate metal drill bit.
- Fasten one Z-Bar rail to the wall pointing upward and outward using suitable wall plugs or stud screws.
- Fasten the matching Z-Bar rail to the rear top edge of your item pointing downward and inward.
- Lower the item onto the wall rail until the cleats interlock firmly. Ensure you have at least 19.1 mm vertical clearance above the frame to slide the cleats together.
