Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Ensure pilot holes are drilled correctly and are of appropriate size for the screws. Always tighten screws by hand and do not use power tools.

Hook appears to be rusting

This is a natural characteristic of cast iron. Increase the frequency of applying household wax polish. Ensure the area is dry and well-ventilated. If rust is significant, gently clean the affected area and reapply wax polish.

Hook feels loose after installation

Check if the wall anchors are secure. If not, you may need to use different wall anchors suitable for your wall type. Ensure screws are adequately tightened by hand.

Product finish is uneven or has minor variations

This is expected due to the handmade nature of the product. These variations contribute to its unique antique charm and do not affect its functionality.
