The hook does not reach the eye plate properly.
Check your initial measurements. If the hook is too short or long, ensure the eye plate is mounted at the exact distance required for the hook's 367mm length.
The hook rattles when the door is held open.
Ensure the screw mounting is tight and the eye plate is perfectly level with the hook to maintain consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you have a standard screwdriver and a measuring tape. First, determine the desired angle for your door or window to remain open, and mark the position for the fixing plates. Ensure the hook aligns perfectly with the eye plate when the door is in the open position to prevent rattling. Use the included wood screws to mount the plates into a sturdy surface, such as the door frame or window surround. For maintenance, simply wipe the pewter surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. If used outdoors, applying a light coat of high-quality wax can help protect the metal finish from the elements and extend its lifespan.
