Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install coat hooks?
All our coat hooks are supplied with wood screws. They can be fixed directly into timber or, when installing into gyprock, used with wall plugs for secure fitting. For peace of mind, we recommend professional installation if you’re unsure. Our friendly team is always happy to provide advice.
Can I make my own coat hook rack?
Yes. Many customers use our hooks to create DIY coat racks. Simply select a piece of timber, attach the hooks, and mount it to the wall for a practical and decorative storage solution.
Will any finishes damage my clothes?
No. All our coat hooks are designed for clothing and accessories. Even our antique finishes are coated with a clear lacquer to protect fabrics.
Where can I install coat hooks?
Coat hooks are versatile and can be installed in entryways, bedrooms, mudrooms, studies, bathrooms, and even inside cupboards or wardrobes.
What types of coat hooks are available?
Our range includes single and double hooks, simple plain styles, and decorative designs inspired by Edwardian and Art Deco periods. Porcelain tip models are also available for a vintage touch.
How much weight can a coat hook hold?
While our hooks aren’t individually weight-rated, they are built to hold substantial loads when properly secured. A solid installation will easily support coats, jackets, and everyday use.
What can I hang on coat hooks?
You can hang coats, jackets, scarves, hats, bags, and more. Their strength makes them suitable for both light accessories and heavier outerwear.
Can I use coat hooks in the bathroom?
Yes, many people use coat hooks in bathrooms for towels or robes. However, in damp areas we recommend finishes such as chrome or matte black, as antique finishes may tarnish more quickly.
What’s the difference between a robe hook and a coat hook?
A robe hook is typically a single hook used in bathrooms for towels or robes. A coat hook, often called a hat and coat hook, has two hooks for extra hanging capacity.
What height should I mount a coat hook?
For general use, we recommend positioning the bottom of the hook around 1500mm from the floor. This allows coats and bags to hang freely without touching the ground. Hooks can also be mounted lower for children’s rooms or higher depending on personal preference.
