I just mounted my mantel to my brick surround using this method, and it kind of seems like it will fall of the wall if I pull down on the front edge, or if I put too much stuff on it, did I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated!
Good for mounting headboards to walls that are not attached to the frame as well - motels have done this for years but of course they lock them in place with a few screws to prevent theft. Friends of mine back in the 60s had their headboard, and a wall mounted mirror mounted like this but the mirror had a 2x4 split with a double rabbet to make a locking L. It was a heavy antique mirror too and never budged, neither did the headboard despite what activities went on ;-)
I love this video. When my clients ask me about an easy way to attach a fireplace mantel, I try to explain it myself. But, sometimes I just send them this video in their email and let you explain it.
great tim carter must make more videos on installation of fans and split air conditioner units if you have information regarding these give me the sites

@zogorion Yes. Cleat is not in the correct position, in the same plane as the wall or not aligned correctly. Good luck!
