Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold firmly.
Ensure the fixing plates are securely fastened to the surface. Check that the hook is fully engaged with the eyelet and that there are no obstructions.
Screws do not tighten properly.
The surface may be too soft or damaged. Consider using appropriate wall anchors or wood filler if screwing into aged timber.
Pewter Patina finish appears dull.
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For a slight lustre, use a very small amount of natural wax polish on a soft cloth, buffing gently.
