Can this hook be used for very heavy doors?
While effective for standard doors and gates, for exceptionally heavy or high-traffic doors, consider reinforcing the mounting points or using a more heavy-duty latching mechanism.

Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold the door/gate securely.
Ensure the hook is fully engaged with the eyelet. Check that both the hook and eyelet are securely fastened to their respective surfaces and that the mounting surfaces are robust.
Screws are not gripping.
The mounting surface may be too soft or damaged. Consider using larger screws or wall anchors appropriate for the material (e.g., wood filler for soft wood).
Hook is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions or misalignment between the hook and eyelet. A small amount of lubricant might help if the movement is purely mechanical friction.
