Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To install the Hammer and Tongs Square Back Hat & Coat Hook, follow these steps carefully:
- Drill Pilot Hole: Due to the nature of cast iron, a pilot hole must be drilled into the wall before inserting the screws. This prevents the screws from shearing during installation.
- Hand Tighten Screws: Use the provided screw fixings and tighten them by hand only. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill as this can damage the hook or the wall.
Compatibility:
This hook is designed for use on solid walls suitable for screw fixings. It is ideal for cloakrooms, hallways, bedrooms, and other dry indoor areas.
Care & Maintenance:
Cast iron is a ferrous metal and is prone to rusting. Regular maintenance is required to preserve its appearance and prevent rust:
- Wax Polish: Apply a household wax polish regularly to help prevent rusting.
- Avoid Damp Areas: This product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms where moisture can accelerate rust formation.
