David Hunter – you are correct but the cabinet is not really intended to move. The reason for the French cleat was just to find a way of hanging what could end being a heavy cabinet. Adding a batten underneath and maybe screwing through the nailing strip is probably well over the top but I really don’t have a feel for how strong the cleat on its own would be.
I guess screwing to the wall does also prevent accidentally lifting the cabinet off the cleat.
