Product Information
Full details
The Kirkpatrick Coat Hook is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking an authentic, traditional aesthetic for their living spaces. Hand-forged in the United Kingdom, this hook provides a robust and reliable storage solution for coats, bags, and accessories while adding a touch of rustic charm to any interior. While it excels in period properties and heritage decor, users should note that the antique black finish requires careful installation to avoid scratching the surface during the mounting process.

FAQs
Are mounting screws included?
No, screws are typically not included as the required length and type depend on the specific mounting surface.
Can this be used outdoors?
It is designed primarily for indoor use; outdoor installation may lead to faster oxidation of the finish.
How do I clean the hook?
Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the material solid iron?
Yes, this is a hand-forged iron product.
Can I mount this directly into drywall?
It is highly recommended to mount this into a wooden surface or use heavy-duty wall anchors, as standard drywall cannot support the weight of heavy coats on a single hook.
What are the dimensions?
The hook measures 60 x 60mm.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose on the wall
Check that the mounting screws are tightened completely; if the screw hole has widened, use a larger screw or insert a wall anchor.
Surface appearance looks dull
Gently clean with a soft cloth and apply a very thin layer of high-quality beeswax to restore the natural luster of the iron finish.
Scratches visible on the black finish
Use a specialized ironwork touch-up paint or matte black metal wax to blend the scratch into the surrounding finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard wood screws suitable for your mounting surface. Because the hook is solid iron, it is recommended to drill pilot holes before fastening to prevent splitting your timber.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most wooden surfaces, such as walls, door backs, or custom-built racks.
Care: To maintain the finish, simply wipe the hook down occasionally with a clean, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the antique black coating. If the hook is installed in an environment with high humidity, a light application of beeswax can help preserve the metal's longevity.
