Carpet trim creates a hidden wall hanger

To hold a pair of heavy mirrors, I used aluminum carpet trim as a French cleat. Connect one piece to the wall (make sure to screw it into the studs) and the opposite to no matter you’re hanging. The metallic trim items maintain their cargo near the wall, which helps to maintain them hidden from view.—ALAN KUPCHELLA, Fairport, N.Y.
