FAQs
What are these cup hooks best used for?

How many hooks are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 cup hooks.
What is the length of each hook?
The length of each cup hook is 47mm.
Can these hooks be used for heavy items?
These are general-purpose hooks and are not recommended for very heavy items. For heavier loads, consider specialized hooks and ensure they are installed into a strong mounting surface or use appropriate heavy-duty anchors.
What color are the hooks?
The hooks are white.
How do I install these hooks?
Screw the threaded end directly into wood or a suitable surface. For drywall, pre-drilling and using wall anchors is recommended.
What material are the hooks made of?
The product description does not specify the material, but they are designed for general-purpose use.
Troubleshooting
Hook is loose after installation
Remove the hook and re-insert it, ensuring it's screwed into a solid part of the surface. For drywall, use a wall anchor for better grip.
Difficulty screwing hook into surface
Pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the hook's thread. Ensure the surface material is suitable for screwing.
White finish is scratched or dirty
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive pads or cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply screw the threaded end of the cup hook into the desired surface. For softer materials like drywall, pre-drilling a small pilot hole can make installation easier and prevent damage. If hanging heavier items, ensure the hook is screwed into a sturdy material like wood or use appropriate wall anchors (not included) for plasterboard or masonry.
Compatibility: These hooks are compatible with most common household surfaces, including wood, MDF, and plasterboard (when used with appropriate fixings). They are best suited for lightweight to medium-weight items.
Care: Clean the hooks with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the white finish. Periodically check that the hooks remain securely fastened, especially if used for items that are frequently moved or are heavy.
