Product Information

Full details

The Keypak 300mm Extended Cabin Hook is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a secure, long-reach solution to hold open heavy doors, gates, or shutters. This hardware provides the necessary leverage for larger gaps and features a timeless bronze finish that suits traditional aesthetics. While it offers excellent reach and durability, the 300mm length requires careful measurement of the mounting surface to ensure the hook and eye alignment remains stable under wind pressure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the exact length of this cabin hook?

This hook has a total length of 300mm, providing significant reach for larger door or gate gaps.

Does it come with screws?

Yes, the product includes all necessary fixings and mounting hardware for immediate installation.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, it is designed for durability and is suitable for outdoor use on gates, shutters, and doors.

Is the finish prone to rust?

The bronze finish is durable, but as with any outdoor metal hardware, regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance and prevent surface oxidation.

Can I mount this on metal surfaces?

The provided screws are typically intended for wood. If mounting on metal, you may need to source appropriate self-tapping screws or bolts.

Troubleshooting

Hook does not reach the eye

Check your mounting placement; ensure the hook and eye are aligned on the same horizontal plane and that the distance between the two mounting points does not exceed the effective reach of the 300mm arm.

Hook keeps falling out of the eye

Ensure the eye is installed at a slight upward angle relative to the hook, or check if the gate is sagging, which may be shifting the hook out of alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extra-long 300mm reach is ideal for wide-set doors and gates
  • Sturdy construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Traditional bronze finish provides a classic decorative look
  • All required hardware is included for immediate setup
  • Smooth latching action is easy to engage and disengage

Cons

  • Longer lever arm may experience more torque in high winds
  • Bronze finish requires occasional wiping to prevent oxidation
  • Not suitable for extremely tight spaces where 300mm is too long

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires only a standard drill or screwdriver. First, hold the hook and eye in the desired position to ensure the hook sits comfortably in the eye without tension. Mark the pilot holes using a pencil, then drill small pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting. Fasten the mounting plates using the provided screws. For maintenance, simply wipe the bronze surface with a soft, damp cloth every few months to remove dirt or debris. If the hook begins to feel stiff, a light application of silicone-based lubricant on the pivot point will restore smooth performance.
