A Practical Helper for Every Day

This double hook is a universal solution for keeping things tidy. In the entryway or hallway, you can hang coats, hats, scarves, and even heavy bags on it. In the bathroom, it's perfect for towels and bathrobes. In the bedroom or dressing room, it can be used to hold clothes for the next day. Feel free to use it in the kitchen for aprons and tea towels, or in the workshop and garage, where it can even hold work clothes and various tools.

A Piece of History for Your Interior

The design of this hook, sometimes known as the "schoolhouse hook," is an absolute classic that became widespread at the turn of the 20th century. Its popularity stemmed from the perfect combination of simplicity, high functionality, and durability. Unlike overly decorated Victorian patterns, it focused on pure utility. That's why you could find them everywhere—in schools, train stations, public offices, and every other home. It's a design that never goes out of style.

An Interesting Historical Fact

A similar emphasis on functionality and simple beauty was championed by the Shakers, a religious community in America. They were famous for their minimalist interiors, where they placed long "peg rails" on the walls. They hung absolutely everything on them—from clothing and kitchen utensils to chairs, to make cleaning the floor easier. It was an expression of their philosophy, "A place for everything, and everything in its place," which this practical double hook perfectly embodies.

Installation and Care for Cast Iron Quality

Installation

1. Choose a suitable location and mark the positions for the drill holes with a pencil. If you're mounting several hooks in a row, use a spirit level to ensure they are perfectly aligned.
2. Drill pilot holes into the wall. For mounting on plasterboard or brick walls, use appropriate wall plugs (anchors).
3. Screw the hook firmly to the wall using the provided screws. Make sure it is tight and does not wobble.

Product Care

Thanks to the material and finish, these hooks are virtually maintenance-free. Simply wipe them down with a dry or slightly damp cloth from time to time to remove dust. Do not use any aggressive cleaners that could damage the blackened surface.

What You Should Avoid

Although the hook is made of solid cast iron, its load capacity is limited by the strength of its mounting to the wall. Do not hang extremely heavy items on it that could pull the screws out of the wall. Never mount the hook directly into plasterboard without using suitable wall plugs. Although the surface is moisture-resistant, for a long-lasting perfect appearance, we do not recommend permanent installation in direct rain.
