Nautical Hardware: 7 Cleats for Home Use

June 24, 2014

We’ve long been fans of marine-style hardware, and nautical cleats are no exception. Designed to hold boat lines (and handle weight of the attached bouy or boat), this tough, weather-proof, high quality piece of metal can easily take on the role of cabinet pull, drawer handle, or hook. See Alexa’s DIY: Nautical Cleat as Toilet Roll Holder for another creative use of this piece of marine hardware.
