Troubleshooting
Screw shearing during installation
Ensure a pilot hole is drilled first, as recommended. Use hand tightening only and do not overtighten.
Hook appears to be rusting
This is a characteristic of cast iron in damp conditions. Immediately clean the rusted area and apply a suitable wax polish to create a protective barrier. Ensure the hook is not used in a damp environment.
Hook feels loose after installation
The wall plug may not be secure, or the pilot hole may be too large. Reinstall using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type and ensure screws are tightened securely by hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Pilot Hole: Due to the nature of cast iron, a pilot hole *must* be drilled into the wall first. This prevents the included screws from shearing during installation.
- Hand Tighten: Secure the hook by tightening the screws by hand. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill, as overtightening can damage the hook or the wall.
Compatibility:
- This hook is best suited for installation in solid walls that can support its weight.
- Crucially, it is not suitable for bathrooms, unheated rooms, or any environment with high humidity or dampness.
Care & Maintenance:
- Cast iron is a ferrous metal and is prone to rusting. To help prevent rust, regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required.
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
