Cabin Hooks Buying Guide

What is a cabin hook?

A cabin hook is a simple hook-and-eye fitting used to hold a door, gate, window or shutter securely in position. The hook attaches to one surface while the eye is fixed to the other, allowing the hook to hold the fitting open or closed.

What are cabin hooks used for?

Cabin hooks for doors and gates are commonly used to hold them open, preventing movement in windy conditions. They can also be used on windows, shutters, cupboards and other applications where a simple retaining catch is required.

What size cabin hook do I need?

Cabin hooks are available in different lengths, with common sizes ranging from approximately 75mm to 300mm. Choose the length according to the distance between the fixing points and the size of the door, gate or window. Always check the product dimensions before ordering.

What is a silent cabin hook?

A silent cabin hook is designed to reduce rattling and noise when the hook is engaged. It can be particularly useful for doors, windows and gates exposed to movement or wind where a quieter fitting is preferred.

Which cabin hook finish should I choose?

Popular finishes include brass, antique brass, matt black, chrome and stainless steel. Brass and traditional finishes work well with period and heritage doors, while black and stainless steel cabin hooks suit contemporary interiors and exterior applications.

Are cabin hooks suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, cabin hooks for gates and external doors can be used outdoors when the material and finish are suitable for the environment. Stainless steel and weather-resistant finishes are good choices for areas exposed to moisture, rain and changing weather conditions.

How are cabin hooks fitted?

Cabin hooks are normally supplied with a hook and matching eye or keep. Position the two fixing points so the hook engages easily without putting excessive strain on the fitting. Use suitable fixings for the door, frame, wall or gate material.

Can cabin hooks be used on windows?

Yes. Window cabin hooks can hold traditional timber windows and shutters in position. Choose a suitable length and finish, and make sure the fixing points provide enough clearance for the hook to engage correctly.
