Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold securely.
Ensure the fixing plates are screwed tightly into a solid surface. Check that the hook engages fully with the eye plate. If the surface is soft, consider using larger screws or appropriate wall anchors.
Beeswax finish appears dull or has surface marks.
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant marks, a light application of beeswax polish or a suitable metal polish can restore the finish. Avoid abrasive materials.
Screws do not seem adequate for the mounting surface.
The supplied screws are intended for standard wood applications. For alternative surfaces like masonry or metal, use appropriate fixings designed for those materials.
