FAQs
Can this hook be used outdoors?
It is not recommended for outdoor use as exposure to rain and high humidity will cause the cast iron to rust rapidly.
What is the total length of the hook?
The hook measures 125mm in total length.
Can I paint this hook to match my room?
Yes, you can customize the hook using a metal-safe paint or primer.
Is mounting hardware included?
Hardware is not always included; please check your specific package contents and use screws appropriate for your mounting surface.
How do I prevent the hook from rusting?
Keep it in a dry environment and occasionally wipe it down with furniture wax or a light machine oil.
Troubleshooting
Surface rust has appeared on the hook
Use fine-grade wire wool to gently scrub the affected area, then apply furniture wax or oil to seal the metal.
The hook feels loose on the wall
Ensure that the mounting screws are tightened completely or check if your wall anchors are secure; you may need to use larger screws or different anchors for a firmer fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard screws suitable for your specific wall or door material; ensure you are mounting into a solid surface like a wooden stud or using appropriate wall anchors for drywall. To maintain the antique look, keep the hook away from damp environments like bathrooms with poor ventilation. Should you encounter surface rust, you can easily restore the finish by gently buffing the area with wire wool. Once cleaned, apply a thin layer of furniture wax or mineral oil to protect the metal. If you prefer a different color scheme, the hook can be personalized by painting it with a metal-safe primer and paint.
