Q: What is the primary use of a Cabin Hook? A: A Cabin Hook (also known as a gate hook) is primarily used to hold a door or window open in a fixed position. It is a vital window hardware accessory in Indian homes to prevent shutters from banging during high winds, protecting both the glass and the wooden window frame.
Q: Can these hooks be used for outdoor gates? A: Yes. Our heavy-duty gate hooks are designed for both internal and external use. For outdoor gates exposed to rain, we highly recommend our stainless steel gate hooks or high-quality brass cabin hooks, as these materials do not rust or degrade easily.
Q: How do I choose the right length for a gate hook? A: The length depends on how far you want the door or window to remain open. We stock a variety of sizes, from small 4-inch cabin hooks for bathroom vents to 12-inch gate hooks for large French doors. A hardware professional can help you measure the perfect clearance for your wall.
Q: Are these hooks easy to install on wooden doors? A: Absolutely. Most of our gate hooks and eyes come with matching screws. They are a popular DIY hardware upgrade because they only require a simple drill and screwdriver to install on any wooden surface, providing instant security and stability.
Q: Why choose a brass hook over a plated iron one? A: Solid brass hardware is superior because it is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it will never rust. For luxury residential projects, brass is the preferred material as it maintains its structural integrity and can be polished back to its original shine even after years of use.
