Can this cabin hook be used outdoors?

The hook length is 208mm, fixing plates are 60mm x 14mm, and the thickness is 9mm.

How many sizes of this cabin hook are available?

Are screws included with the cabin hook?

How should I clean and maintain the cabin hook?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Hook does not hold the door/window securely.

Ensure the fixing plates are screwed into a solid, stable surface. Check that the hook is fully engaging with the staple. If the mounting surface is soft, consider using appropriate wall plugs or anchors.

The black finish appears to be chipping or scratching.

Clean the area gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If damage is significant, consider touching up with a suitable metal paint designed for exterior use, although the baked-on finish is generally very durable.

Screws provided do not seem suitable for my mounting surface.

The product is supplied with wood screws. If mounting to brick, masonry, or metal, you will need to use appropriate fixings (e.g., wall plugs and masonry screws) suitable for your specific surface. Ensure they are rated for the intended load.
