FAQs
What are the dimensions of a single hook?
Each hook measures approximately W35mm x H105mm.
What material is the hook made from?
The hook is forged from iron with a classic brass finish.
How many hooks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 hooks.
Is this hook suitable for outdoor use?
No, this hook is designed for interior use in dry environments. Outdoor exposure could lead to corrosion and damage to the finish.
Can I paint over the brass finish?
While it might be possible with proper surface preparation and primer, painting over the brass finish is not recommended as it may detract from the intended antique aesthetic and the finish may not adhere well.
What is the maximum weight capacity of a single hook?
While a specific weight capacity is not provided, the durable iron construction suggests it can hold several coats or bags. Ensure secure mounting for heavier loads.
How should I clean the hook?

Troubleshooting
Hook is loose on the wall
Tighten the mounting screws. If the wall anchors are damaged or loose, remove the hook, replace the anchors, and re-mount securely.
Brass finish appears dull or tarnished
Gently clean with a soft cloth. For minor tarnish, a specialized brass cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid excessive polishing.
Screw heads are stripping during installation
Use the correct size screwdriver. If the screw is difficult to turn, ensure pilot holes are adequately sized. Apply firm, steady pressure.
Hook does not match desired aesthetic
Review product images and description carefully before purchase. This hook features a distinct antique brass finish and forged iron look.
