Full details
The FIXMAN Universal Double Arm Storage Hooks (250mm) are designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and workshop managers who need a heavy-duty solution for decluttering floor space. These robust steel hooks excel at organizing bulky, awkward items like ladders and bicycles, providing an elevated and secure storage system. While the hooks are incredibly durable, users should note that they require proper wall mounting hardware—which is not included—to ensure safety and load-bearing capacity.

FAQs
Does this hook come with screws?
No, the FIXMAN Universal Double Arm Storage Hooks do not include mounting hardware, allowing you to choose the best fasteners for your specific wall type.
Can these be used outdoors?
They feature a corrosion-resistant finish, but for longevity, they are best suited for sheltered outdoor areas like carports or sheds.
What is the weight limit?
The weight capacity depends primarily on the strength of your wall and the hardware used; always install into solid wood studs or masonry.
Are these suitable for hanging a mountain bike?
Yes, the 250mm length is sufficient to support a standard mountain bike frame when installed correctly into a load-bearing wall.
Can I mount these on plasterboard?
It is not recommended to hang heavy loads directly on hollow plasterboard without using heavy-duty toggle bolts or finding a wall stud.
Troubleshooting
Hook wobbles after installation
Ensure that the mounting screws are tightened completely and that the wall anchors are appropriate for the wall material.
Hook appears slightly rusted
Use a light abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and apply a clear coat or touch-up paint to restore the protective barrier.
Item slips off the arm
Ensure the item is balanced across both arms or consider using cable ties to secure the item if it has an irregular shape.
Pros and Cons

- High weight capacity due to sturdy steel build
- Prevents rust in damp environments like garages
- Protective caps safeguard stored equipment

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hooks, you must identify the appropriate wall type. For masonry or concrete walls, use heavy-duty wall plugs and screws. If mounting into a wooden stud, ensure your screws are long enough to bite securely into the center of the stud. Always drill pilot holes before inserting fasteners to prevent splitting or wall damage.
Compatibility is broad, but always check the weight of the item being stored against the strength of your mounting surface. To maintain the hooks, wipe them down occasionally with a dry cloth to remove dust. If the protective plastic caps become damaged or dislodged over time, replace them immediately to prevent metal-on-metal wear or scratching of your stored items.
