Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after installation
Ensure the screws are fully tightened. If the wood is soft, consider using slightly longer or thicker screws, or wood filler to create a more secure anchor point. Check that the mounting surface is solid.
Hook is difficult to operate
Verify that the hook and eyelet are perfectly aligned. Minor adjustments to the positioning of either the hook or the eyelet may be necessary. Ensure no debris is obstructing movement.
Pewter Patina finish shows signs of wear
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a very light application of a natural wax polish suitable for metal may restore some luster. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
