FAQs
How much weight can these picture hooks hold?
The specific weight capacity is not provided. It is recommended to use these hooks for lighter to medium-weight items and always ensure secure installation with appropriate wall fixings.
Are wall fixings included with the hooks?
Typically, picture hooks are sold without screws or wall plugs, as the required fixings depend on your wall type. You will need to purchase these separately.
Can I paint over the antique effect finish?
While possible, painting over the antique effect finish may alter its intended aesthetic. If you choose to paint, use a suitable primer and paint designed for metal surfaces.
What is the 'antique effect'?
The antique effect is a decorative finish designed to give the hook a vintage or aged appearance, often involving subtle variations in colour or texture to mimic older materials.
How many hooks are in a pack?
This product is sold as a pack of two picture hooks.
What type of wall are these hooks best suited for?
They are suitable for most wall types, but the secureness of the installation depends entirely on using the correct type of screw and wall plug for your specific wall material (e.g., plasterboard, brick, masonry).
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation
Remove the hook and check if the wall plug is correctly inserted. Ensure you are using an appropriate-sized wall plug and screw for the wall type. Reinstall, ensuring a tight fit.
Difficulty screwing hook into the wall
Ensure you have pre-drilled a suitable pilot hole of the correct diameter for the screw. If drilling into a hard surface like brick, use a masonry drill bit and appropriate force. Verify you are not hitting a pipe or wire.
Antique effect appears uneven
The antique effect is a deliberate finish and may vary slightly between hooks. If the appearance is significantly different from expectations, contact the retailer for a possible exchange.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, mark the desired position on your wall. Use a suitable drill bit for your wall type (plasterboard, brick, etc.) and drill a hole. Insert an appropriate wall plug if required. Screw the picture hook firmly into the wall plug or directly into a solid wall until secure. Ensure the hook is level before hanging your item.
Compatibility: These hooks are generally compatible with most standard wall types, provided you use the correct fixings (e.g., screws, wall plugs) for your specific wall material. They are suitable for hanging framed pictures, paintings, and mirrors.
Care: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the antique effect finish. Periodically check that the hook remains securely fastened to the wall.
