Product Information
Full details
The Taskar Heavy Duty Picture Hooks are designed for individuals needing to securely hang heavier items like large picture frames and mirrors. Their key benefit is providing a strong, corrosion-resistant mounting solution with a significant load capacity of up to 40 kg on solid walls. A caveat to be aware of is that optimal load capacity is dependent on proper installation into a solid wall.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight these hooks can hold?
When properly installed into a solid wall, these hooks can support a maximum load of 40 kg.
What type of wall is best for installation?
These hooks are designed for optimal performance on solid walls such as brick or concrete. They can be used on plasterboard if securely fixed into a wall stud or with appropriate heavy-duty plasterboard fixings.
Do I need to buy screws and wall plugs separately?
No, each pack of Taskar Heavy Duty Picture Hooks is supplied with high-quality screws (No. 6 x 1 1/4" / 3.5 x 30mm) and wall plugs for immediate installation.
What are the dimensions of the hook?
Each hook is 25mm wide with a 10mm protrusion and has a fixing hole diameter of 4.8mm.
Are these hooks suitable for outdoor use?
While the nickel plating provides corrosion resistance, these hooks are primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect their longevity.
How many hooks are in a pack?
A pack contains 10 heavy-duty picture hooks.
What is the protrusion measurement?
The protrusion measurement is 10mm, indicating how far the hook extends from the wall surface.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation
Ensure the screw is fully tightened. If installed into a wall plug, check that the wall plug is secure in the wall. For plasterboard, ensure you are screwing into a stud or using a heavier-duty plasterboard fixing designed for significant weight.
Included screws do not seem long/thick enough
The supplied screws are sized for the included wall plugs and standard solid wall installations. If you are mounting to a different surface or using different fixings, ensure you use compatible hardware. The screws provided are 3.5 x 30mm.
Item slips off the hook
Verify the item's weight does not exceed the 40kg limit for solid walls. Ensure the item's hanging mechanism (wire, D-ring) is securely attached to the item and properly seated on the hook. For very heavy items, consider using two hooks for better weight distribution.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High weight capacity suitable for heavy items.
- Durable nickel-plated construction resists corrosion.
- Includes all necessary fixing hardware for installation.
- Provides a secure and stable hanging solution.

Cons
- Maximum load capacity is dependent on wall type (solid wall recommended).
- Requires appropriate tools for installation (e.g., drill, screwdriver).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired hanging location and mark it on the wall.
- If using wall plugs, drill an appropriately sized hole for the included wall plugs.
- Insert the wall plug into the hole.
- Align the 4.8mm fixing hole of the Taskar hook with the wall plug or directly with a pre-drilled hole for screws.
- Use a screwdriver to insert and tighten the supplied 3.5 x 30mm screw through the hook and into the wall plug or wall.
- Ensure the hook is firmly secured before hanging any item.
Compatibility:
These hooks are compatible with most solid wall types, including brick, concrete, and plasterboard (provided you are screwing into a stud or using appropriate heavy-duty plasterboard fixings, sold separately). They are designed for use with the supplied screws and wall plugs. For optimal performance, ensure the item to be hung has secure attachment points like D-rings or a sturdy wire.
Care:
Clean the hooks with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the nickel plating. Periodically check that the screws remain tight and the hook is securely fixed to the wall.
