- Hardwall plastic hooks for hanging small decor and everyday items on concrete, cinderblock, thin plaster over concrete, soft smooth brick, soft stone, and hardwood
- Measures 1 ⅜” long and 3/16” wide
- Supports up to 20 lbs
- No additional hardware required
Instructions
-
Place the back of a hardwall plastic hook against the wall and hold in position using your thumb and index finger. Make sure the wall surface is smooth so the back of the hook is in full contact with the wall. (Note the following incompatible wall types: drywall, traditional lath & plaster, stucco, soft wood, ceramic tile, formica, hard brick, hard natural stone)
-
Hammer all of the pins into the wall simultaneously until they are flush against the base of the hook. Watch your fingers! Avoid over-hammering once the pins are flush as it will loosen the hook's hold and damage your wall.
-
Hang your picture or item. Note: The weight of the object must pull straight down on the hook, parallel to the wall. Because the three self-contained pins on each hardwall plastic picture hook are driven straight (90°) into the wall, any outward pull on the hook will compromise its holding power and can cause failure.
-
To remove a hardwall plastic hook, slide a thin blade between the wall and the back of the hook and pry the hook off gently.
-
Discard any removed hooks and do not reuse.
