Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after mounting
Re-tighten the fixing screws. Ensure you are mounting into a solid wall structure or a wall stud. If mounting into drywall without a stud, consider using appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors (not included).
Hook is difficult to swivel
Check for any obstructions preventing movement. Ensure screws are not over-tightened, which could restrict the swivel mechanism.
Scratches appearing on stored item
Ensure the rubber end caps and padding are intact and correctly positioned. Clean the hook and the item being stored to remove any grit or debris.
Hook is sagging under load
Verify the load does not exceed the 22.7kg maximum capacity. Check that the hook is securely fastened to the wall and that the wall itself can adequately support the weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify a suitable wall location. Ensure the wall material (e.g., stud, brick, concrete) is strong enough to support the hook's maximum load capacity.
- Use a stud finder if mounting to drywall to locate wall studs for optimal support.
- Position the hook and mark the screw hole locations.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, depending on the wall material and included screws.
- Securely fasten the hook to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the hook is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Compatibility:
This hook is compatible with a wide range of heavy items including bicycles (mountain bikes, road bikes), ladders, canoes, kayaks, and long tools. Its 310mm width accommodates most standard-sized items.
Care:
Clean the hook with a damp cloth as needed. The corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain its appearance and function. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
