National Mfg N188-003 Red Vinyl Coated Screw Hook 6in 6pk

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N188-003 is a 6-inch red vinyl-coated ladder screw hook designed for wall and overhead storage mounting. The hook threads directly into wood studs, joists, or shelving to create a secure anchor point for hanging bulky items. The red vinyl coating over the steel base provides a protective layer that helps prevent scratching or marring of stored items. Each package contains 6 hooks, making it practical for outfitting a full wall storage system or a tool shed in a single purchase.

This screw hook is suited for residential garages, workshops, utility rooms, and storage areas where space efficiency is a priority. Common applications include hanging ladders horizontally against a wall, organizing skis and ski poles, routing garden hoses, storing lengths of lumber or pipe, and managing extension cords or other shop supplies. The vinyl coating makes these hooks a better choice than bare steel when storing items with finished or painted surfaces that are prone to scratches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically a DIY or general contractor task requiring a drill or awl to create a pilot hole in wood before threading the hook by hand to avoid splitting. Confirm the mounting surface is solid wood or engineered lumber rated for the intended load before hanging heavy items such as extension ladders. Avoid installing into drywall alone without a backing anchor rated for the load.
