Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation.
Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall material can support the weight. Use appropriate wall anchors if mounting into drywall.
Surface rust is appearing.
This is expected with uncoated cast iron if exposed to moisture. Remove existing rust with fine wire wool and apply a coat of wax polish or light oil to protect the surface.
Hook is not holding items securely.
Check that the mounting is secure. If the hook itself seems unstable, re-evaluate the mounting hardware and surface.
