Wall Hook Installation Guide

Wall Hook Installation

How to Install Your Wall Hooks – Direct into studs

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!)

Let’s Do It

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.

Drill the hole

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

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.

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!)

Let’s Do It

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

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.

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.
