Troubleshooting
Screw won't go in or feels stuck.
Ensure a pilot hole was drilled. If the hole is too small, widen it slightly. If the screw head strips, you may need to carefully remove it and try a new screw after re-drilling the pilot hole.
Hook appears to be rusting.
This is expected in damp environments. Immediately clean the rusted area and apply a suitable metal wax polish. Ensure the hook is located in a dry, heated room as per the product's limitations.
Hook is loose on the wall.
The fixings may not be secure. Remove the hook, check the wall plugs (if used) and ensure they are suitable for your wall type. Re-drill pilot holes if necessary and securely tighten screws by hand.

Drill a Pilot Hole: A pilot hole is essential before inserting screws to prevent the cast iron from shearing. Do not skip this step.
