Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold the fixture securely
Ensure the hook and eyelet are correctly aligned and the eyelet is positioned to fully engage the hook. Check that both the hook and eyelet are firmly screwed into their respective surfaces.
Rust or discoloration appears on the finish
While the Beeswax finish offers excellent protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may cause minor surface marks. Clean with a soft cloth and consider reapplying a suitable beeswax polish.
Screws seem loose after installation
Re-tighten the screws. If the wood is soft or the hole is stripped, consider using a slightly larger screw or a wood filler to ensure a secure fit.
