FAQs
What material is the hook made from?
The hook is made from mild steel, ensuring durability and strength.
How is this hook installed?
It features a drive-in spike that is hammered into a suitable surface, typically wood, for secure mounting.
What are the dimensions of the Large size hook?
The Large size has overall dimensions of approximately 89mm in height and 44mm in depth.
Can I use these hooks outdoors?
While made of mild steel, they are best suited for indoor use to prevent potential rust or damage from outdoor elements. A protective coating may be needed for outdoor applications.
How many hooks are included in a purchase?
These hooks are sold individually, meaning each purchase includes one cup hook.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The product comes with a 5-year guarantee.
Can I mix and match different sizes?
Yes, the product description mentions they can be used individually or mixed and matched with similar hooks in the same or different sizes.
Troubleshooting
Hook is loose after installation.
Gently tap the base again with a hammer or mallet to ensure the drive-in spike is fully secured in the wood. If the wood is soft, consider a slightly larger hook or a wood filler around the spike.
Difficulty driving the hook into the surface.
Ensure the surface is not too hard or dense. For extremely hard woods, pre-drilling a very small pilot hole might help, but this can compromise the drive-in mechanism. Check for any obstructions.
Black finish is scratched or chipped.
Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with black paint suitable for metal. For significant damage, replacement of the hook is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable surface, preferably wood, where the hook will be installed.
- Position Hook: Place the spike of the hook where you intend to install it.
- Drive In: Gently tap the base of the hook with a hammer or mallet until the spike is fully embedded and the hook is firmly secured. Ensure it is driven in straight.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Best suited for solid wood surfaces. Avoid installing in plasterboard, brick, or concrete without appropriate wall anchors, which are not included.
- Item Weight: While sturdy, avoid overloading the hook beyond its intended capacity. Consider the material and size of the item being hung.
