FAQs
What material is the Blooma Cabin Hook made of?
The hook is made of galvanised steel, which offers good resistance to corrosion.
Can this cabin hook be used outdoors?
Yes, the galvanised steel construction makes it suitable for both interior and exterior use, including garden sheds and gates.
What is the length of this cabin hook?
The cabin hook has a length of 102mm (approximately 4 inches).
Does it come with screws for mounting?
Mounting screws are not typically included, as the type and length of screws needed depend on the surface material you are mounting it to.
How do I install the hook and eyelet?
You will need to mark the positions for the hook and eyelet, then secure them to the door and frame using appropriate screws.
Is this a lockable hook?
No, this is a simple mechanical fastener and does not provide a locking mechanism. It is designed for basic closure and security.
What is the colour of the hook?
The hook has a silver finish due to the galvanised coating.
Troubleshooting
Hook does not align with the eyelet
Adjust the mounting position of either the hook or the eyelet slightly. Ensure the door is properly aligned and not sagging.
Hook feels loose after installation
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened. If mounting on a softer surface, consider using longer screws or a backing plate.
Rust spots appear on the surface
While galvanised steel is resistant, minor rust can occur. Clean the area gently with a soft brush and apply a suitable metal polish or protectant. Ensure the surface is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired mounting location on the door and frame.
- Mark the positions for the hook and the eyelet.
- Using appropriate screws for your surface (wood, metal, etc.), attach the hook to one surface and the eyelet to the other, ensuring they align when the door is closed.
Compatibility:
This cabin hook is designed to be surface-mounted on wood, metal, or other suitable sturdy materials. It is compatible with most standard doors, gates, and shed openings where a simple closure is required.
Care:
To maintain its appearance and function, periodically wipe the cabin hook with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised finish. For outdoor applications, occasional inspection for any signs of corrosion is recommended, though the galvanised coating provides significant protection.
