FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the hook?
The hook has a maximum load capacity of 22.6kg (50lbs).
What items can I store on this hook?
It is suitable for storing heavy items such as ladders, bicycles, large tools, garden equipment, and sports gear.
Are the fixing screws included?
Yes, the hook comes complete with fixing screws for installation.
What are the overall dimensions of the hook?
The hook has a height of 270mm and a width of 290mm, with an internal width of 255mm and a protrusion of 255mm.
Can I mount this hook on a plasterboard wall?
While possible, it is strongly recommended to mount the hook directly into wall studs for maximum support. If studs are not available, use heavy-duty drywall anchors specifically rated for the weight of the items you intend to store.
Does the padding come off?
The padding is designed to stay attached to protect your items. It is not intended to be removable.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels unstable after mounting
Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are fully tightened into a solid wall stud or appropriate wall anchor. If mounting on drywall without a stud, use heavy-duty drywall anchors rated for the load.
Padding is torn or damaged
Contact the retailer for replacement parts or consider using robust tape to reinforce the damaged area if immediate replacement is not possible.
Corrosion noticed on the finish
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and apply a thin layer of protective lubricant or a rust inhibitor spray suitable for metal surfaces.
