FAQs
What is the maximum weight this hook can hold?
The Diall Zinc-Plated Steel Security Hook has a maximum load capacity of 250Kg.
Does the hook come with screws or mounting hardware?
No, mounting hardware such as screws or bolts is not included. You will need to select appropriate fasteners based on your mounting surface and the load requirements.
Can this hook be used outdoors?
Yes, the zinc-plated steel construction provides good resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, regular inspection is recommended.
Does the hook swivel or rotate?
No, this is a fixed security hook and does not swivel or rotate.
What types of surfaces can I mount this hook to?
It can be mounted to solid wood, concrete, or metal structures. Ensure the surface is strong enough to support the rated load.
How should I clean the hook?
Wipe the hook with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation
Remove the hook and re-secure it using appropriate fasteners. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and the fasteners are tightened properly. If mounting to drywall, use heavy-duty anchors rated for the load.
Visible rust or corrosion
While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause corrosion. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a protective coating if used in a damp environment.
Hook is not holding the expected weight
Verify that the mounting surface is adequate and that the fasteners used are appropriate and securely installed. The load capacity is dependent on the strength of the mounting point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select Location: Choose a sturdy, load-bearing surface like a solid wooden beam, concrete wall, or metal frame.
- Mark Position: Position the hook and mark the mounting hole(s).
- Drill Pilot Hole (if necessary): For wood, a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw thread is recommended. For concrete, use an appropriate masonry bit and wall plug.
- Secure the Hook: Use appropriate screws or bolts (not included) that are rated for the intended load and the mounting surface. Ensure the hook is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Compatibility:
- The hook is compatible with most standard fasteners (screws, bolts) appropriate for the mounting surface.
- Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the 250Kg weight capacity.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
- Periodically inspect the hook and mounting for signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening. Re-tighten fasteners if necessary.
