This page covers screw-in, adhesive, magnetic and decorative hooks, weight ratings, wall types and anchors, entryway, bathroom and kitchen use, spacing and height, rates and fixing.

Weight ratings
Adhesive hooks carry 0.5 to 5 kg depending on size, screw-in hooks carry 5 to 20 kg or more depending on anchors and decorative hooks vary. Use the rating on the pack and allow a safety margin, and do not overload hooks by hanging heavy bags from adhesive ones.
Wall types and anchors
Masonry walls need wall plugs and screws, drywall needs hollow-wall anchors and tiles need adhesive hooks or careful drilling with tile bits. Fix into studs where possible. Rough or dusty walls spoil adhesive hold.
Entryway, bathroom and kitchen use
Entryways need strong hooks at several heights, bathrooms need rust-proof or plastic hooks and kitchens suit stainless hooks for utensils. Avoid adhesive hooks on damp or greasy surfaces unless rated.
Spacing and height
Space coat hooks 15 to 20 cm apart at about 150 to 160 cm for adults and 100 to 120 cm for children. Place towel hooks within easy reach of showers.
Fixing tips
Clean surfaces for adhesive hooks and let them cure, mark positions with a level and drill carefully avoiding pipes and cables. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating.
Before you decide
Match the hook to the load and the wall, and use the correct plug or adhesive. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
