FAQs
What material is the coat hook made from?
The coat hook is forged from iron with a brass finish.
What is the main benefit of the dual-pronged design?
The dual-pronged design provides efficient, space-saving storage for multiple items in a compact footprint.
Can I use this coat hook in my bathroom?
No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or other unheated/damp rooms due to the cast iron's susceptibility to rusting.
How should I install the hook?
You must drill a pilot hole first and then tighten the provided screws by hand. Do not use power tools.
How do I maintain the hook to prevent rust?
Regularly apply a household wax polish to the cast iron surface to help prevent rusting.
Are the dimensions precise?
Measurements are approximate as the product is handmade.
What is included with the product?
The listing includes one double hook and the necessary screw fixings.
Troubleshooting
Screws won't go in or are difficult to tighten.
Ensure a pilot hole was drilled first. The pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the screw diameter. Try tightening by hand slowly and carefully.
Hook shows signs of rust.
This is expected with cast iron in certain conditions. Clean off any surface rust gently with fine steel wool. Apply a coat of household wax polish to protect the surface and prevent further rusting. Avoid humid environments.
Hook feels loose after installation.
The screws may not be fully tightened. Re-attempt tightening by hand, ensuring they are snug but not overtightened, which could strip the threads or damage the mounting surface.
