What You Need
- A hook or furniture knob with a concealed mounting and a locking screw tightened with an Allen key.
- A base / mounting element designed for the specific model and the appropriate screw or screws for installation.
- Wall plugs suitable for the type of wall.
- An Allen key suitable for the locking screw.
- A drill, appropriate drill bit for the surface, hammer, spirit level, pencil, and tape measure.
Installation Instructions
1. Mark the Installation Location
- Mark the spot where the hook is to be installed. The typical mounting height is about 160–175 cm from the floor, but this should be adjusted according to the hook's purpose and the users' needs.
- If installing several hooks, use a spirit level and tape measure to maintain equal spacing and consistent height.
- Place the base / mounting element against the wall and mark the location of the mounting hole or holes with a pencil.
2. Drill One or Two Holes
The number of holes depends on the construction of the base for the specific model:
- Single-point base – drill 1 hole,
- Two-point base – drill 2 holes.
- Select a drill bit diameter matching the wall plug used. For a 6 mm wall plug, use a Ø 6 mm drill bit.
- Adjust the hole depth to the length of the wall plug.
- After drilling, remove dust from the hole or holes using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing.
3. Insert the Wall Plug and Base
- Insert the wall plug or plugs into the prepared holes. They should be flush with the wall surface.
- If necessary, gently tap them in with a hammer.
- Place the base / mounting element against the wall.
- Screw the base in with the appropriate screw or screws. It should be stable and fit snugly against the wall.
4. Attach the Hook to the Base
The method of attaching the hook depends on the design of the specific model.
Variant A – Hook Applied
Place the hook body directly onto the mounted base and position it correctly.
Variant B – Hook Slid On
Slide the hook body onto the mounted base in the direction intended for the model until it is in the correct position.
5. Tighten the Allen Screw
- Once the hook is correctly attached, locate the locking screw inside its body.
- Insert the appropriate Allen key and tighten the screw gently.
- The screw locks the hook onto the mounted base and secures it against sliding off or rotating.
- Do not overtighten the screw.
6. Check Stability
- Check that the hook fits well against the wall and there is no noticeable looseness.
- Gently move the hook to ensure the base and body are properly secured.
- If the hook is loose, check the base mounting and retighten the Allen screw.
Selecting the Wall Plug for the Surface
Concrete / Solid Brick:
use a suitable nylon wall plug designed for solid surfaces.
Aerated Concrete / Hollow Brick:
use a wall plug designed for light, porous, or hollow surfaces.
Plasterboard:
use appropriate fixings for plasterboard, e.g. butterfly or Molly wall plugs.
Caution Select the mounting method according to the type of wall and the load the hook will bear. The wall plug supplied with the product may not be suitable for every type of surface.
