Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation.
Check that the screws are fully tightened. If mounting on drywall, ensure appropriate wall anchors are used and that they are securely seated.
Rust appearing on the hook.
This is a natural characteristic of cast iron, especially in humid environments. Clean gently with a dry cloth. For aesthetic preference, consider applying a clear coat of metal sealant suitable for cast iron.
Difficulty mounting to the wall.
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit for your wall type and that you have chosen appropriate wall anchors for the load you intend to hang. Refer to the fixing screw manufacturer's instructions if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Oakcrafts Owl Hook is designed for easy installation. Locate your desired mounting spot. Use the pre-drilled holes on the hook as a guide to mark your wall or door. Depending on your wall material, use appropriate wall anchors and screws (fixing screws are supplied) to securely attach the hook. Ensure the hook is firmly mounted before hanging items.
Compatibility: This hook is compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including drywall, plaster, and wood. It is ideal for indoor use in entryways, hallways, kitchens, utility rooms, or bedrooms.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the cast iron, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the rustic finish. For outdoor use, be aware that cast iron may rust over time if exposed to moisture, which can be considered part of its rustic charm or addressed with appropriate protective coatings if desired.
