FAQs

What material is the Hammer and Tongs Wire Coat Hook made from?

The hook is forged from iron with a classic powder-coated finish.

What are the dimensions of the hook?

The approximate dimensions are 70mm x 90mm. Please note that as the product is handmade, measurements can vary slightly.

Can this hook be used in a bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the nature of cast iron, which is prone to rusting.

How should I install the hook?

You must drill a pilot hole before inserting the screws to prevent shearing, and all screws should be tightened by hand. Do not use power tools.

How do I prevent the hook from rusting?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting. Ensure the hook is installed in a dry environment.

What should I do if the screws don't go in easily?

Ensure you have drilled an appropriate pilot hole. If the hole is too small, the screw can shear. Try re-drilling with a slightly larger bit if necessary, ensuring it's suitable for the wall type.

Does the hook come with fixings?

Yes, the product comes with screw fixings.

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Always drill a pilot hole first and tighten screws by hand. Do not use power tools.

Hook shows signs of rust

This indicates exposure to moisture. Move the hook to a drier location and apply household wax polish regularly to prevent further rusting. If rust is extensive, consider replacement.

Hook feels loose after installation

Ensure the pilot hole was drilled correctly and the screws are fully, but not overly, tightened by hand. Check if the wall material is suitable for secure screw fixing.
