Troubleshooting
Hook does not securely hold the rope
Ensure the center screw is fully tightened after forming the pilot hole through the rope. Check that the rope diameter is within the compatible range (24mm-40mm).
Eyeplate feels loose after installation
Verify that all four fixing screws are securely tightened into a robust mounting surface. If the surface is soft, consider using appropriate wall anchors or a more substantial mounting board.
Trigger mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean any visible dust or debris from the trigger area. Test with a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary, ensuring it does not transfer to the rope.
Visible wear on the black coating
Avoid harsh cleaning agents. If minor scuffs occur, they are cosmetic. For significant wear, consider a professional refinishing or repainting with metal-appropriate paint.
