Product Information
Full details
This Securit Cabin Hook is designed for homeowners seeking a subtle yet effective way to keep doors open, particularly in areas like cupboards, wardrobes, or even internal doors prone to slamming. Its primary benefit is its silent operation and durable brass construction, ensuring longevity and quiet use. A potential caveat is its specific aesthetic, which may not suit all interior designs. Key features include its silent-type mechanism, brass material, polished finish, and included fixings for straightforward installation.

FAQs
What material is the Securit Cabin Hook made from?
The hook is made from brass, providing durability and a polished finish.
Does this cabin hook come with screws?
Yes, all necessary fixings are included for installation.
Is this hook suitable for outdoor use?
This cabin hook is designed primarily for indoor use. While brass is resistant to corrosion, prolonged outdoor exposure may affect its finish.
How do I clean the bronze finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, avoid abrasive cleaners. A mild brass polish can be used if needed.
What is the main advantage of the 'Silent Type' feature?
The 'Silent Type' feature ensures that the hook operates quietly, preventing the clanking or slamming sounds often associated with traditional cabin hooks.
Can this hook be used on heavy doors?
This hook is intended for light to medium-duty use on interior doors and cabinets. It may not be suitable for very heavy doors.
Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold door securely.
Ensure the hook and eyelet are correctly aligned and fully engaged. Check that the screws are tight and the hook/eyelet are not loose. Verify the door is not too heavy for the hook's intended load.
Hook is difficult to engage or disengage.
Check for any obstructions or misalignment between the hook and eyelet. Ensure screws are not overtightened, causing stress on the mechanism. Clean any dust or debris from the hook and eyelet.
Hook makes noise despite being 'silent type'.
Minor noises might occur if the hook is not fully seated in the eyelet. Ensure the eyelet is positioned correctly to allow for full hook engagement. Check for any loose parts that might vibrate.
