FAQs

What material is the hook made from?

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

Can this hook be used in a bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the cast iron's susceptibility to rusting.

How should I install the hook?

Drill a pilot hole first to prevent screw shearing, and then tighten the screws by hand. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill.

How do I prevent the hook from rusting?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting, especially in drier environments.

Are the dimensions exact?

Please note that as this product is handmade, all measurements provided are approximate and may have slight variations.

What is the size of this specific hook?

The dimensions for this specific model are 30mm x 45mm.

What color is the hook?

The hook has a black powder-coated finish.

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled before inserting the screw. Tighten screws slowly and by hand, avoiding excessive force.

Hook appears to be rusting

This indicates the hook is in a damp environment or lacks maintenance. Move to a drier location and apply a coat of household wax polish to the affected area and the entire hook.

Hook feels loose after installation

The pilot hole may be too large, or the wall material may not be sufficiently strong. Check wall fixing and consider using appropriate wall anchors if necessary. Ensure screws are fully tightened by hand.

  • Unique, handmade quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Drill Pilot Hole: Due to the nature of cast iron, a pilot hole must be drilled into the wall first. This prevents the screw from shearing during installation.
  2. Hand Tighten Screws: Use a screwdriver to tighten the provided screw fixings by hand. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill as this can overtighten and damage the hook or wall.

Compatibility:

  • Best suited for solid walls where a secure fixing can be achieved.
  • Ideal for cloakrooms, hallways, bedrooms, and other dry interior spaces.
  • Not suitable for bathrooms or unheated/damp rooms.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Cast iron is a ferrous metal and is prone to rusting. Regular maintenance is required to help prevent this.
  • Apply a household wax polish periodically to protect the surface.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
