FAQs

Are screws included with the hook?

How often should I apply wax polish?
The frequency depends on your environment. In dry areas, a polish every few months may suffice. In slightly more humid conditions, monthly checks and polishing are recommended.
Can I use this hook outdoors?

What are the exact dimensions of the hook?
The dimensions provided (20mm x 35mm) are approximate as this product is handmade and may have slight variations.
What is covered by the 2-year warranty?
The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or rust due to unsuitable environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Hook appears to be rusting.
Immediately clean the rusted area with a soft brush or cloth. Apply a thin coat of household wax polish to the entire hook, focusing on the rusted areas. Ensure the hook is in a dry environment and repeat polishing as needed.
Hook feels loose after installation.
Remove the hook and check the mounting surface. If using wall anchors, ensure they are properly seated. If mounting directly into wood, try a slightly larger screw or reinforce the mounting hole with wood filler before re-installation.
Surface finish is uneven or scratched.
This is a characteristic of the handmade, raw finish. Minor imperfections are normal. If significant damage has occurred, you can attempt to lightly buff the area and reapply wax polish to blend the finish.

Rust Prevention: Cast iron is a ferrous metal and susceptible to rusting. To maintain the hook's finish and prevent rust, regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required.

Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can accelerate rusting.
