FAQs

What material is the hook made from?

The hook is forged from iron with a powder-coated finish.

Can this hook be used in a bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or damp rooms due to the cast iron material's susceptibility to rust.

How do I install the hook without damaging it?

You must drill a pilot hole first and then tighten the screws by hand only. Do not use power tools.

How often should I apply wax polish?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting. The frequency may depend on your room's humidity levels, but checking monthly is a good practice.

Are the dimensions exact?

All measurements provided are approximate, as this product is handmade, so slight variations may occur.

What is the purpose of the hammered finish?

The hammered finish contributes to the authentic antique look and rustic charm of the hook.

Troubleshooting

Screws shearing during installation.

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled correctly and use hand-tightening only. Do not use power tools.

Visible signs of rust appearing.

Clean the affected area and apply a household wax polish. Increase the frequency of waxing to prevent future rust.

Hook feels loose after installation.

Check if the pilot hole was adequate and if the screws are fully engaged by hand. You may need to re-drill a pilot hole or use appropriate wall anchors if the wall material is unsuitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Pilot Hole Required: Before installation, a pilot hole must be drilled into the wall surface. This is crucial to prevent the provided screws from shearing due to the hardness of the material.
  2. Hand Tightening: Screws should be tightened by hand only. Do not use a power screwdriver or drill, as over-tightening can damage the hook or the wall.
  3. Secure Mounting: Ensure the hook is securely fastened to a suitable wall surface.

Compatibility:

  • Room Suitability: Best suited for dry interior rooms such as cloakrooms, hallways, and bedrooms.
  • Not Recommended: This product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the nature of cast iron.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Rust Prevention: Cast iron is a ferrous metal and is prone to rusting. To help prevent rust, regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required.
  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
