Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation
Check that the screws are fully tightened into the wall. If mounting on drywall, ensure appropriate wall anchors were used and are secure. Consider repositioning with stronger anchors if necessary.
Finish appears dull or tarnished
Clean the hook with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent dullness, a specialized chrome polish might be used sparingly according to product instructions.
Fixings provided are not suitable for my wall type
Purchase appropriate wall anchors and screws for your specific wall material (e.g., plasterboard, brick, tile) from a local hardware store.
