FAQ

How does a HenkelHook™ prevent accidents?
Coat hook accidents involving children typically occur in an unsupervised area. When a child is caught on a rigid hook, there is a high risk of injury, because they cannot release themselves. Even if they call out, there may be no one around to hear them. The HenkelHook™ is engineered to only hold about 26 pounds, or 11 kg. When the weight limit is exceeded, the hook releases itself to allow the item to drop. This frees the child from the hook. The hook then resets itself, so that it can be used appropriately to hold backpacks or coats.
How is your hook different from other safety hooks?

The HenkelHook™ uses magnets, which avoids metal fatigue that occurs in spring actuated hooks. Our hook is rust-proof. You can purchase the HenkelHook™ directly from the manufacturer. It’s more affordable than other safety hooks on the market.

How do you know the coat hook is safe to use?

HenkelHook™ has passed CSA safety tests and other finite element analysis to ensure that it reduces risk of accidents. It is patented in Canada and patent pending in the United States. It’s being used worldwide to prevent accidents to children.

How far does the hook protrude from the wall?

These hooks stick out from the wall at 3.75 inches or 9.5 cm. The actual hook part is about half that width. They are much different than standard metal coat hooks that are rigid and have no breakaway.

How long will the HenkelHook™ last?

HenkelHook™ coat hooks are engineered to be sturdy and durable, even in high traffic areas. They will operate effectively for many years.

How do we maintain these hooks?

HenkelHook™ coat hooks are designed to be low maintenance. They won’t rust. The magnets are permanent and resist metal fatigue. When the hooks are released, they automatically reset for the next use.

How easy is installation?

Our coat hooks accommodate both Philips and Robertson screwdrivers. They are designed to mount on wood, metal or drywall. They are easy to install and skilfully engineered to prevent accidents when used.

How much does the hook cost per unit?

Our coat hooks are very competitively priced because they are designed to be affordable. You can purchase them through Richelieu Hardware. Other safety coat hooks sell for $40 to $100 per unit.

Can the HenkelHook™ be vandalized?

Our hook is made of impact resistant polycarbonate. We engineered the product to be tamper proof to prevent accidents or bullying incidents.
