Types of Hooks
Our hooks range covers several distinct product types, each suited to different locations and uses.
Coat Hooks
A coat hook is designed to carry the weight of coats, bags, and other outerwear. Most are wall-mounted and available as single or multi-hook options. Single coat hooks are ideal where space is limited, while a run of individual coat hooks spaced evenly along a wall or hallway creates a neat, hardwearing hanging solution without the bulk of a full coat rack.
Robe Hooks
Robe hooks are a bathroom and bedroom staple. Generally more compact than a coat hook, a robe hook is designed to hold dressing gowns and towels within easy reach. They are available in a wide range of finishes to coordinate with taps, towel rails, and other bathroom accessories, including polished chrome, brushed nickel, antique brass, and matt black.
Hat and Coat Hooks
A hat and coat hook features a larger upper hook for hats and a lower hook or hooks for coats and bags, making them a practical and traditional choice for hallways, cloakrooms, and boot rooms. Many designs are available in period-appropriate finishes such as antique brass, black iron, and polished nickel, which suit both original and sympathetically designed properties.
Double Hooks
Where space is at a premium, a double hook - with two arms set at different heights on a single backplate - allows you to hang multiple items in the footprint of a single fixing. Double hooks are widely used in hallways, utility rooms, and behind doors.
Choosing a Finish for Your Hooks
The finish you choose for your coat hooks or robe hooks should ideally be consistent with the other ironmongery in the same room or zone. Common pairings include:
- Satin chrome hooks with modern lever handles and hinges
- Antique brass hooks with period door furniture in heritage schemes
- Matt black hooks with contemporary or industrial-style interiors
- Polished nickel for transitional schemes that sit between classic and modern
In bathrooms, choose a finish rated for humid environments. Solid brass hooks with a quality lacquered or plated finish are a reliable choice where moisture is present.
Where to Use Wall Hooks
Coat hooks and wall hooks are among the most versatile pieces of ironmongery available. Common locations include:
- Hallways and entrance porches: coat hooks or hat and coat hooks for outerwear, bags, and keys
- Bathrooms: robe hooks for towels and dressing gowns
- Bedrooms: single hooks or double hooks for frequently used clothing and bags
- Utility rooms and boot rooms: heavy-duty hooks for workwear, outdoor clothing, and equipment
- Home offices: hooks for bags, headsets, and cables
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a coat hook and a robe hook?
A coat hook is designed to bear the weight of heavy outerwear such as coats and jackets, and is generally more robust and larger in projection. A robe hook is smaller and intended for lighter items such as dressing gowns and towels, making it the standard choice for bathrooms and bedrooms.
What is a hat and coat hook?
A hat and coat hook features two hooks at different heights on a single backplate -- a higher hook for hats and a lower hook for coats or bags. They are a traditional ironmongery choice and are commonly used in hallways, cloakrooms, and entrance areas.
How far apart should coat hooks be spaced?
As a general guide, space individual coat hooks 200mm to 300mm apart when mounting a row. This allows enough room for bulkier coats to hang without overlapping. For children's hooks, a lower fixing height of around 900mm to 1000mm from the floor is practical alongside a standard adult height of 1500mm to 1700mm.
Can wall hooks be fitted to the back of a door?
Yes, many single and double coat hooks are well suited to back-of-door installation. Check the projection of the hook before fitting -- a hook with too deep a projection may prevent the door from closing flush with the frame when items are hanging.
Which finish is best for bathroom robe hooks?
In bathrooms, opt for solid brass hooks or hooks with a high-quality plated or PVD finish, as these resist corrosion in humid conditions more reliably than painted or lower-grade finishes. Polished chrome, brushed nickel, and matt black PVD are all popular and hardwearing options for bathroom hooks.
Do you offer hooks in bulk or trade quantities?
Yes. If you are specifying hooks across a larger project, contact our team for trade pricing and availability. We supply hooks to contractors, developers, interior designers, and architects throughout the UK.
