What size hook and eye do I need for my project?

The size of hooks and eyes you need for your project depends on various factors, including the weight and size of the item to be held, as well as the type and structure of the surface to which the hook will be attached.

If you want to hang a heavy item, you will need larger hooks and eyes. In addition, you should consider hooks and eyes made from durable materials such as stainless steel or brass.

For light items, especially on thin or delicate surfaces, smaller hooks and eyes are suitable.

• For items under 5kg: Use hooks and eyes with a diameter of at least 2-3mm.
• For 5kg – 10kg: Choose hooks and eyes with a diameter of at least 3-5mm.
• For over 10kg: You will need hooks and eyes with a diameter of at least 5-10mm.

Keep in mind that the nature of the wall or the material where the hooks and eyes are attached also determines whether coarser or finer fastening materials are needed.

If you are still unsure, it is always a good idea to contact the manufacturer of the item you want to hang. They can often provide specific recommendations on which hooks and eyes are most suitable for their product.
