Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Hammer & Tongs Hat & Coat Hook, first drill a pilot hole into the wall where you intend to mount the hook. This is crucial to prevent the supplied screws from shearing due to the nature of the cast iron. Once the pilot hole is created, insert the screws and tighten them by hand. *Do not use a power screwdriver or drill* for tightening, as this can also lead to damage.
Compatibility: This hook is designed for use in dry, heated interior spaces such as hallways, bedrooms, or cloakrooms. It is *not suitable for bathrooms* or any unheated/damp environments due to the ferrous nature of cast iron, which is prone to rusting.
Care: To maintain the hook and prevent rusting, regular maintenance is required. Apply a household wax polish periodically. This will help protect the cast iron surface. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
