How long is the straight part of the hook?

What materials is the hook made from?
The hook is constructed from steel with an epoxy coating and features black rubberized non-slip tips.

Troubleshooting
Hook is loose after installation
Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened. If installed in drywall without a stud, the drywall anchors may not be sufficient for the load; consider relocating to a stud or using heavier-duty anchors.
Items slip off the hook
Verify that the item is positioned correctly on the non-slip tip and the straight portion of the hook. For very smooth items, consider adding a small strip of grip tape if needed, though the rubber tips are designed to prevent this.
Rust or corrosion appears on the hook
While the hook is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture without wiping could potentially lead to minor surface marks. Wipe dry with a cloth. If significant rust occurs, contact customer support as it may indicate a defect.
