FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is the advantage of choosing acid-proof A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel coat hooks over regular metal hooks?
The choice of material, A4 steel, makes these hooks extremely versatile as they can handle environments where standard hooks quickly rust or flake:
-
Maximum corrosion protection: A4 steel (1.4401 / AISI 316) contains 2–3% molybdenum, which provides very good protection against moisture, condensation, saltwater, and cleaning chemicals.
-
Perfect for wet rooms and outdoors: Ideal for bathrooms, saunas, locker rooms, outdoor showers, boats, marine installations, and public environments with high humidity.
-
Gentle polished surface: The polished surface finish is completely smooth and free of sharp edges, which prevents clothes, towels, or bag straps from fraying or getting unsightly rust stains.
Which screw size fits the mounting holes and what should one keep in mind?
The hole diameter of approx. 2.5 mm requires the right choice of fasteners for a stable and neat installation:
-
Correct screw size: Use a countersunk screw with a shank diameter of max 2.5 mm (e.g., countersunk wood screw/chipboard screw with a diameter of 2.0–2.5 mm or M2.5 machine screw) so that the screw head sits flush in the hole's bevel without sticking out.
-
Match the material (A4/A4): Always use stainless/acid-proof A4 screws for installation. If you use standard zinc-plated screws (FZB), the screws will rust and spread surface rust over the hook and the mounting surface.
How are the hooks mounted securely in different materials?
-
In wood/boat interiors: Pre-drill a thin pilot hole (approx. 1.5 mm) before screwing to prevent the wood from splitting, especially when fastening into harder hardwoods like teak, oak, or mahogany.
-
In drywall, tile, or concrete: Use a suitable high-quality plastic anchor (e.g., 3–4 mm). When mounting in tiled wet rooms, you should also seal the drill hole with wet room silicone before inserting the anchor to prevent moisture from seeping into the wall.
