Hanging cleats are always cut on a 45 degree angle and should run the width
of the panel (can be shorter and spaced on a long panel). To a large degree
the surface tension of the cleat faces and weight of the panel will keep
the panel in place. If it needs to be secured a screw block at the bottom
of the panel, with screws through the panel return will keep everything in
place.
