Hook screw

The L-shaped hook screw is a type of fastener designed for installing quick-release structures and lifting fixtures. It is intended for installation in wood and other soft materials, as well as in concrete and other solid bases, in which case it is used together with a plastic wall plug. The hook screw is an L-shaped product made of strong wire; a universal thread is cut on the long side. The other side can take the form of a hook with a rectangular or semicircular shape.

Manufacturing features and materials

The hook screw is made of carbon steel St; to resist corrosion, the metal can be provided with a protective coating of white zinc. Steel wire of the required diameter is bent at a right angle or formed into a hook of the required diameter on special equipment. A thread is cut on one side, and the tip is given a pointed shape for ease of driving into the material. The hook screw is convenient for installation in chipboard, fiberboard, solid wood and other materials; for soft materials it can be driven in by hand into a pre-drilled hole.

The fastener has the following characteristics:

• The diameter of the product can range from 2.5 to 12 mm; the choice depends on the loads the fastening must withstand.
• The size range of the products is from 3.5×35 to 10×200 mm. The wide range of sizes allows a suitable fastener to be selected depending on the application.
• High corrosion resistance. The steel is provided with a galvanic zinc coating, thanks to which it can withstand contact with moisture and atmospheric air for a long time.

The hook screw does not require additional tools for installation. It is widely used in construction and in household applications. These durable items of hardware can be installed indoors and outdoors thanks to the high corrosion resistance of the material.

Application options

The main purpose of the fastener is to install various quick-release structures in household and construction-site settings. Several in-demand applications can be listed:

• Hanging clotheslines, light fixtures and various temporary structures on walls. Thanks to deep penetration into the base, it is resistant to loads.
• Installation of temporary or permanent interior partitions.
• Installation of mirrors, as well as wall cabinets and other interior items. Such hooks are a reliable solution for securely fastening heavy objects to walls.

The hook screw can be installed in walls made of concrete, brick and other solid materials. In this case, a hole of a somewhat larger diameter is pre-drilled in them, and a plastic expansion wall plug is inserted into it. The hook screw is screwed into the plastic and securely fixed in the wall. The use of the wall plug prevents the fastener from spontaneously falling out under load.
