FAQs
Do I need any tools to install these hooks?

What type of gutters are these hooks compatible with?

Can these hooks be used outdoors year-round?
Yes, they are made from durable, weather-resistant plastic intended for outdoor use. However, storing them indoors during harsh off-seasons can help extend their lifespan.
How many hooks are included in a set?
Each set includes 8 gutter light hooks.

Are the hooks reusable?

Troubleshooting
Hooks not staying securely attached to the gutter.
Ensure the gutter edge is clean and free of debris. Verify you are using a standard gutter profile; these hooks may not grip custom or unusually shaped gutters effectively. Ensure the hook is fully engaged with the gutter lip.
Light strings slipping from the hooks.
Check that the light string's wire is properly seated within the hook's grip. For very thin wires, consider adding a small zip tie to secure the wire to the hook if slippage persists, though this is rarely necessary.
Hooks feel flimsy or break.
These hooks are designed for standard light strings, not heavy objects. Avoid placing excessive weight on them. If a hook appears defective upon arrival, contact customer support for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply clip each hook onto the edge of a standard gutter. Position the hooks evenly along the gutter to support your light strings. Ensure the hook is securely fastened before attaching lights.
Compatibility: These hooks are designed to fit most standard residential gutters. They work well with common types of string lights, including LED and incandescent Christmas lights, patio lights, and fairy lights. They may not fit very wide, narrow, or unusually shaped gutters.
