  • Publication number: 20100116762
    Abstract: A closet and cabinet cleat system as described in which a cleat is connected between at least two studs and provides a surface which receives a foot from a cutout of a panel. The panel may be connected to other panels in the form of a cabinet such as a bookshelf structure or other cabinet structure. Furthermore, the cleat is also useful to support a shelf extending away from the panel internal to cabinets. Other cleats may be useful to assist in supporting shelving and supporting brackets for hanging closet rods thereon. With the applicant's system, a closet can be installed in an extremely little time while still providing an excellent quality product to the marketplace.
