Drywall anchors are not strong enough to support French cleats to hang a large mirror, for instance, or a painting with a heavy frame.

			For proper French cleat strength, the wall cleat should be anchored in at least two wall studs using lag screws. Lag screws are exceedingly sturdy and tough fasteners used to connect woods that are carrying heavy loads.

			A single lag screw in a wood stud can bear a weight of between 80 – 100 pounds; two screws can hold 160-200 pounds. The wall cleat should be wide enough to fit two lag screws and span a minimum of two studs. "
			**Seems it is essentially a function of what, and how many, [[Woodworking Screws]] / [[Lag Bolts]] are used, where they are attached, and ''the strength of your framing''
			*Figuring out the [[Failure Modes]] and doing some testing with a [[Universal Test Machine]] would be neat
