FAQs
What is the maximum weight this picture hook can hold?
This picture hook can hold a maximum weight of up to 4kg.
Do I need special tools to install this hook?
For most wall types, you will need a drill, a drill bit, and potentially a screwdriver to install the hook securely with an appropriate screw and wall plug (which are usually sold separately).
Can I use this hook on any wall surface?
It is compatible with most common wall surfaces like plasterboard, brick, and masonry, provided you use the correct type of wall plug and screw for that surface.
What is the colour of the picture hook?
The picture hook is white.
Can this hook be used for hanging mirrors?
Yes, as long as the mirror's weight does not exceed the 4kg maximum capacity of the hook.
Are screws and wall plugs included with the hook?
Typically, screws and wall plugs are not included and must be purchased separately to ensure compatibility with your specific wall type.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose on the wall
The hook may not be properly secured. Check if the screw is fully tightened and ensure you are using an appropriate wall plug for your wall type. If on plasterboard, ensure the fixing is rated for the weight of the item.
Item is heavier than 4kg
This hook is not suitable for items exceeding 4kg. You will need to use a heavier-duty fixing or a different type of hanging solution.
Difficulty inserting screw
If drilling into a solid wall, ensure you have created a pilot hole of the correct size. For plasterboard, the wall plug might be too tight; try a slightly smaller plug or re-drill the hole if necessary.
