FAQs

What material is the hook made from?

The hook is carefully crafted from durable cast iron with a powder-coated finish.

Can this hook be used in a bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or any damp/unheated rooms due to the risk of rusting.

How should I install this hook?

Drill a pilot hole first to prevent screw shearing, and then tighten the provided screws by hand only. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill.

How do I maintain the hook's finish?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting and keep the finish in good condition.

What are the dimensions of the hook?

The approximate dimensions are 50mm x 180mm. Please note that all measurements are approximate as the product is handmade.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Yes, the product comes with screw fixings for installation.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 2-year warranty, backed by a dedicated Customer Service Team.

Troubleshooting

Hook is not secure after installation.

Ensure the screws are fully tightened by hand and that the pilot hole was adequately sized for the screw. If mounting on plasterboard, ensure appropriate wall anchors were used.

Visible rust spots appearing on the hook.

This indicates exposure to moisture. Immediately clean the rusted area with a dry cloth and apply a generous coat of household wax polish. Move the hook to a drier location if it's in a damp area. Regular polishing is essential.

Screw fixings shear or break during installation.

You likely did not drill a pilot hole, or the pilot hole was too small. Always drill a pilot hole before inserting screws. Ensure you are tightening by hand and not using power tools.

Hook feels unstable or wobbly.

Re-check screw tightness, ensuring they are secure but not overtightened. Verify the wall surface is solid and the fixings have adequate purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  • NOT suitable for bathrooms, unheated rooms, or any damp environments.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Due to its cast-iron construction, this product is prone to rusting if exposed to moisture.
  • Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting and maintain the finish.
  • Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
