You can also use carpet transition strips, (but I usually just use wood scraps for cleats, because I'm a notorious cheapskate.)

Cool, the transition strips is a good idea, especially with the corrugation.

When I posted this thread, my thought was to use some wood scraps cut on an angle. I've seen woodworkers use wooden cleats in their shops for hanging tools and cabinets. We don't have earthquakes here, so I don't think much of an angle is needed to keep them from coming down.

Nice and tight to the wall, easy on and off, cheap as hell. In 2014 we had a major earthquake. Everything in my house moved and lost a lot of stuff. Didn't lose one tv though

My garage tv has a French cleat mount made by Sanus? Got it at Ross for $7.99 and it works for me. Especially since my 930 is taking up residence while the motor being rebuilt.
