Wall Hooks Installation & Use Guide

Installing your wall hooks is quick and easy — and for the strongest hold, we always recommend fixing them directly into a wall stud.

What You’ll Need

• Drill

• 3mm drill bit

• Stud finder

• Pencil

• Level (optional, but handy!)

Step 1: Find the stud

Hooks installed into studs are the strongest and safest option. Use a stud finder to locate one, then mark and measure where you’d like your wall hook to go.

Step 2: Drill the hole

Using a 3mm drill bit, drill a hole directly into the stud about 30mm deep.

Step 3: Screw in your wall hook

Gently screw the hook into the hole by hand until it sits flat against the wall.

⚠️ Don’t overtighten — this can damage your plasterboard.


Hang it up
Once secured into a stud, your wall hook can hold up to 10kg.

Be sensible with what you hang and how close your hooks are spaced.

💡 Tip: Mark all your
hook positions first if you’re hanging several in a row — it helps keep them
level and evenly spaced.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all wall hooks have the back piece in the centre. Make sure you line your hooks up visually if you have a wall hook that is off-centre.

OPTION 2:

How to Install Your Wall Hooks – Direct into plasterboard

What You’ll Need

• Drill or Screwdriver

• Wall plug or anchor (suitable for plasterboard – included)

• Pencil

• Level (optional, but helpful!)

Step 1: Mark your spot
Choose your position and lightly mark the wall. Use a level if you’re hanging multiple hooks in a row
*See note below

Step 2: Insert the wall plug
Use a #2 Phillips Head screwdriver to pierce the plasterboard with the plug. You can also use a drill on low speed, but stop before it's flush.

Finish by hand so the plug sits flat.

Step 3: Screw in your wall hook

Gently screw the hook into the wall plug until it sits flat against the wall.

⚠️ Don’t overtighten — this can damage your plasterboard.

Hang it up

On 10mm plasterboard, the hook can hold up to 10kg with a plug. Leave at least 10cm between hooks, and don't overload them.

💡 Tip: Mark all your
hook positions first if you’re hanging several in a row — it helps keep them
level and evenly spaced.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all wall hooks have the back piece in
the centre. Make sure you line your hooks up visually if you have a wall hook
that is off-centre.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Wall Hooks

• Adult installation only.
• This product is not a toy
• Timber Wall Hooks are not toys and should not be used as such.
• The amount of weight our hooks can hold is related to the material into which the hook is installed.
• The timber hook uses a 10G screw embedded in timber dowel. When installed into a pre-drilled stud the hook can support up to 10kg.
• If installing directly into plasterboard the included wall plug can be used, however the weight is dependent on the strength of the plasterboard - this will be the possible point of failure not the hook itself.
• Only light items would be suggested for plasterboard installations (eg hats, light decorations etc).
• Our preferred recommendation method of installation is into a wall stud.
• Use common sense when deciding what to hang from your wall hook.
• Do NOT allow children to hang on to the wall hook.
• We do not recommend hanging items in reach of children, near sleep areas, above cots or change tables etc. to avoid possible injury.
