Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired open position for your door or gate.
- Position the hook part and the eyelet (sold separately) accordingly.
- Mark the positions for the screw holes.
- Use appropriate screws (4.0mm diameter recommended, 8-gauge imperial) and secure both the hook and eyelet firmly to the surface. Ensure the surface can support the weight and leverage.
Compatibility:
This cabin hook is designed to be mounted on most solid surfaces like wood or sturdy walls. It is compatible with standard gate and door hardware. It is *not* designed for use with extremely heavy industrial doors.
Care:
While the hot dipped galvanised finish offers good corrosion resistance, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance. For prolonged longevity in harsh environments, occasional application of a light oil to the hook mechanism can prevent stiffness. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
