FAQs

What is the best way to prevent rust on this cast iron hook?

Regularly apply a household wax polish to the surface of the hook. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture.

Can I use this hook in my bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the cast iron's susceptibility to rust in humid environments.

How many items can I hang on this hook?

The hook is dual-pronged, meaning it has two points for hanging. It is designed for efficient storage and can hold multiple lighter items or one or two heavier items like coats and bags, depending on their weight and size.

What should I do if a screw breaks during installation?

If a screw shears, it likely means a pilot hole was not drilled or was too small. You will need to carefully remove the broken screw fragment and attempt installation again on a fresh spot, ensuring a pilot hole is drilled and screws are hand-tightened.

Are the dimensions exact?

No, please note that all measurements provided are approximate as this product is handmade. Slight variations are normal.

What is covered by the 2-year warranty?

The 2-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects. For specific details, please refer to the warranty information provided with your purchase or contact the dedicated Customer Service Team.

What type of wall is best for mounting this hook?

This hook is best mounted on solid walls where screws can be securely fastened. Ensure you use appropriate wall anchors if mounting into drywall or plasterboard.

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled first. Do not overtighten, and always tighten screws by hand, avoiding power tools.

Hook appears to be rusting

Apply a household wax polish regularly. Ensure the hook is not in a damp environment like a bathroom. Wipe dry if it becomes wet.

Hook feels loose after installation

Check that the pilot hole was appropriate for the wall material and that the screws were tightened as much as possible by hand without stripping. If the wall is soft, consider using wall anchors appropriate for the screw size.

Product does not match expected dimensions

Please note that all measurements provided are approximate as this product is handmade. Minor variations are expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To install the Hammer and Tongs Square Back Hat & Coat Hook, follow these steps carefully:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
