The product information does not specify if screws are included. It is advisable to have appropriate screws ready for installation.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, the polished brass finish offers some resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance.

How do I clean the polished brass finish?

Troubleshooting

Hook does not align with eye

Adjust the position of the eye plate or the hook slightly. Ensure mounting surfaces are flat.

Hook feels loose after installation

Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. If mounting into soft material, consider using wall anchors or longer screws.

Stiff operation

Ensure the hook and eye are perfectly aligned. A tiny drop of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) on the pivot point might help, but use sparingly to avoid attracting dirt.

Discoloration of the brass

This is a natural characteristic of brass. Clean with a soft cloth. For restoring shine, use a brass polish specifically designed for hardware, following product instructions carefully.
