A Universal Design for Any Space

Thanks to its simple and elegant shape, this hook is incredibly versatile. You can mount a whole row of them in your entryway to create a clean and functional coat wall. It's perfect for the back of a door in a bedroom or bathroom, where it won't take up much space. In the kitchen, it's handy for tea towels and aprons, and in a closet, it's great for belts and handbags. Its understated design is easy to combine with other materials and styles.

Honesty That Has Endured for Centuries

This type of simple, utilitarian hook is a fundamental building block of historical hardware. Unlike the ornate and lavish pieces intended for noble estates, this "workhorse" was designed for maximum functionality and durability. Similar hooks were produced for centuries by blacksmiths and foundries for common households, schools, workshops, and public buildings where reliability was valued above all else. It is a design that was so good and effective there was no reason to change it.

An Interesting Historical Fact

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, hardware pattern books and catalogs became widespread. Large foundries would showcase hundreds of different designs for hinges, handles, locks, and hooks. Architects and builders could then simply order a specific model by its number. This exact type of hook, or a slight variation of it, was an absolute bestseller in these catalogs—an inexpensive, reliable, and universal choice that suited virtually any application.

Installation and Care for a Classic

Installation

1. Choose a suitable location for mounting. To install multiple hooks in a row, use a spirit level to ensure they are perfectly aligned.
2. Place the hook on the wall and mark the positions for the two holes.
3. For mounting into masonry or plasterboard, pre-drill the holes and use appropriate wall plugs (anchors).
4. Fasten the hook securely with the two provided screws.

Product Care

This hook is virtually maintenance-free. Dust and dirt can be easily removed with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. The finish is designed to withstand normal use for many years.

What to Avoid

Although the hook is made of solid material, its load capacity is limited by the strength of its anchoring to the wall. Do not overload it with items that could pull the screws out. Ensure it is always mounted to a solid surface, using the correct wall plugs where necessary. To best preserve its appearance, do not place it where it will be subject to constant, direct rain.
