FAQs
What are these hooks primarily used for?
These hooks are designed for driving into beams to hang items such as cured meats, utensils, or other decorative/functional objects in rustic or traditional settings.
How do I install the hook?
The hook features a drive-in spike. You simply position it on a solid wooden beam or joist and use a hammer to drive the spike into the wood.
What is the difference between the small and large sizes?
The small hook measures 2 3/4" x 1 1/4", while the large hook measures 3 1/4" x 1 1/4". The larger size offers slightly more reach and can typically support heavier items.
How durable is the black finish?
The black finish is oven-baked at high temperatures, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that has been salt tested to 480 hours.
Can I mount these hooks on a drywall or plaster wall?
No, these hooks are designed for direct drive-in mounting into solid wood beams. They are not suitable for drywall or plaster walls without additional appropriate mounting hardware.
Are these hooks sold in sets?
No, each hook is sold individually, allowing you to purchase the exact number you need for your project.
What kind of maintenance does the finish require?
The finish is low-maintenance. A simple wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the coating.
Troubleshooting
Hook is not secure after installation
Ensure the drive-in spike was inserted into a solid wooden beam or joist. If installed into softer wood or a hollow area, it may not hold securely. Try a different location with a more solid wood source.
Finish appears to be chipping or scratching
Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft cloth. If minor chipping occurs, the underlying metal is protected by the high-temperature bake, but for aesthetic reasons, handle with care.
Difficulty driving the spike into the beam
Ensure you are not encountering knots or unusually dense wood. If significant resistance is met, try a slightly different angle or location. Ensure the spike is not bent before attempting to drive it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation is straightforward. Identify a solid wooden beam or joist. Align the drive-in spike of the hook with the desired location on the beam. Using a hammer, carefully drive the spike into the wood until the hook is securely fixed. Ensure the hook is oriented correctly for its intended use.
Compatibility:
These hooks are designed for direct drive-in mounting into solid wood surfaces such as beams, joists, or thick wooden planks. They are not suitable for drywall, plaster, or masonry without additional mounting hardware (not included).
Care:
To maintain the durable black finish, wipe the hooks with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the finish. The baked-on coating is designed for long-term corrosion resistance, so regular cleaning with mild soap and water is generally sufficient for most environments.
