FAQs
What material is the Blooma Cabin Hook made from?
The hook is made from galvanised steel, which offers durability and resistance to corrosion.

How do I clean the grey finish?

What type of doors is this hook best suited for?

Does the grey finish fade over time?
The galvanised finish is designed for durability. While some weathering may occur over extended periods of direct sun exposure, significant fading is unlikely under normal conditions.
Troubleshooting
Hook does not stay latched
Ensure the eyelet is properly aligned with the hook. Adjust the position of the eyelet or hook if they are not meeting correctly. Check that the hook is fully rotated into the closed position.
Screws do not tighten properly
The mounting surface may be too soft. Try using larger screws or consider using wall anchors if mounting into plaster or drywall. If mounting into wood, ensure pilot holes are not too large.
Hook appears rusty
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually lead to minor surface rust. Clean gently with a soft brush and consider applying a clear sealant or paint suitable for metal to provide extra protection.
