Mounting options
We have already touched on the material for making the hook. The next thing to decide is where and how to install it. For plastic hooks, whose task is to collect keys and something light, drilling into walls is not very rational. On the contrary, for heavy clothes, attaching them to a wooden door will be a mistake, so you need to think about where to place the hooks on the wall.
You can look at photos of hallway hooks and notice that many of them are attached independently of each other. On the one hand, this is an excellent solution, but on the other, for each holder of objects and clothes you will have to make at least one, and sometimes two holes in the wall. How rational is it when one of them breaks and you can’t find a replacement?
That is why first placing the hook on the bar, and then hanging it on the wall is the most rational solution. Finding an appropriately sized wooden board or changing the fastenings on it for your holes in the wall is more feasible than looking for hooks for existing holes.
Often, manufacturers knowing this already place them on sites. There are even wrought iron hooks, where the entire structure is made as a single art object.

It's easy to figure out the size. For outerwear and bags, choose large, sturdy items. And for various small things, such as umbrellas, keys, shoe blades, hats, miniature elements are suitable. We'll take a closer look at the other parameters below.
Advantages
Today it is almost impossible to imagine a room without this piece of furniture. There are several reasons:
A wardrobe or other furniture intended for clothing costs disproportionately more than hooks. Even a simple hanger placed on the floor will cost you more. Affordability is one of the biggest advantages of using them.
In addition, it is worth noting the fact that the vast majority of apartments in our country cannot boast of a large corridor. Therefore, placing hooks helps a lot when there is a lack of space.
Some models can be extremely functional, unlike a standard closet hanger. On one hook you can hang outerwear, apartment keys, and even your bag.
In addition, you don't need any special equipment to hang the hooks, and they can be installed on any surface. Even where it would seem there is no place for them. For example, hooks for keys in the hallway will fit perfectly on a door frame or closet door near the exit from the apartment.
Hooks undoubtedly have a huge selection of models, ranging from wood to plastic and steel. A huge number of colors and implementation options. You can find the right one, regardless of the complexity and uniqueness of your hallway interior design.
What are hooks made of?

The material determines how durable, reliable, comfortable, budget-friendly they will be, and, of course, the appearance of the fittings depends.
Most often, hooks are made of plastic, wood and metal. Of course, the choice is not limited to these three materials, because there are also a variety of design elements made of glass, wire and many others. But we will dwell in detail only on the three named, since they are the most optimal and popular.

- Plastic. This is the most budget option. Easily attached to the surface; usually a simple double-sided tape is enough. However, plastic hooks are not suitable for heavy outerwear, but they are an excellent solution for storing household items;
- Metal. Strong, reliable and durable material. Metal hooks can withstand significant loads. However, the disadvantage of metal fittings is their fastening. Metal products are attached to self-tapping screws, for which you will have to drill into the wall, and this is no longer so convenient;
- Tree. Wooden hooks, like metal ones, can support heavy objects, but are much easier to install. Such products look stylish, but are not suitable for every interior.

Types of fastenings

The choice of fastening depends on three factors:
- The material from which the element is made;
- Weight of the hook and intended load;
- The surface on which the hook will be attached. Most often they are placed either directly on the wall or hung on a panel with hooks.

Small hooks are the easiest to attach. They come with suction cups that attach to a flat glass, ceramic or plastic surface in one motion and are just as easily removed without leaving marks. They also make hooks with double-sided tape already applied to the back surface. Simply peel off the protective film and attach the hook to the wall. In addition to the options listed, it is also possible to attach it with special glue. However, if you are content with such fastenings, you should understand that the hooks will only support a very small weight, and during operation you may have to glue and adjust the products, because such fastenings are not strong enough.

For a more reliable result, use fastenings with nails or screws. The latter method is considered the most durable and durable.
Material
An expensive hook does not always equate to a quality product. This is due to the material used in the production of the product. Today it is simply not enough to make them durable.
Manufacturers add decorative elements, such as glass, apply different coatings, and so on. In the pursuit of reducing the cost of production, there are often specimens that inspire confidence before the first test in practice.
Here are several material options used in production:
Wooden hooks can be extremely strong and durable in use, provided that the wood used in production is suitable for this purpose. Secondly, you need to look at how the model is made, since too thin ones may not withstand the load.
Hallway fittings in the form of hooks are sometimes made of plastic. Of course, no matter how strong it is, they are not able to withstand the weight of outerwear. But a shoehorn or keys are fine.
Metal hooks are by far the most reliable and suitable for most tasks. Even the most intricate forms of construction, as a rule, are highly durable.
Metal alloys are also actively conquering the market, as are their plastic counterparts. Most often they are painted in the color of more expensive hooks, having the same shape.
The alloys are distinguished by their extremely light weight, as well as the sloppy cutting of the product. They are unable to withstand heavy loads and are also capable of bursting if the screw is screwed in too hard.
