What material is the hat and coat hook made of?

The hook is forged from durable cast iron with a rustic raw finish.

Can I use this hook in my bathroom?

How do I prevent the screws from breaking during installation?

It is essential to drill a pilot hole before inserting the screws. Always tighten screws by hand; do not use a power screwdriver or drill.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Hammer and Tongs Hat & Coat Hook comes with a two-year warranty.

How often should I maintain the hook to prevent rust?

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled correctly before inserting the screw and always tighten screws by hand, never with a power tool.

Hook appears to be rusting

This is common for cast iron in certain environments. Clean off any rust and apply a regular coat of household wax polish to protect the surface. Avoid placing in damp areas.

Hook feels loose on the wall

Re-check screw tightness (by hand) and ensure the pilot hole was adequately sized for a secure fit. If wall fixings are compromised, consider alternative wall anchors suitable for your wall type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a suitable location, ensuring it is a dry, heated interior space.
  2. Crucially, drill a pilot hole before attempting to insert screws. This prevents the screws from shearing due to the hardness of the cast iron.
  3. Position the hook and insert the provided screws.
  4. Tighten screws by hand only. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill, as this can damage the hook or the wall.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on most wall types where secure screw fixings can be achieved.
  • Not compatible with bathrooms, unheated rooms, or any damp environments.

Care & Maintenance:
