Makers of Pegs Locking Hooks^tm:
We are American Precision Products, a custom molder of plastic and rubber for over 25 years.  Click here to see more about our corporate information.  Or, if you have an interest in molded plastics, visit our injection molding web page at  http://www.injection-moldings.com.<back>

Plastic:
Pegs Locking Hooks^tm are made from a special grade of polypropylene that allows them to be tough, but flexible enough to "snap" into the pegboard.  Polypropylene is a common plastic resin with very good chemical resistance.  Many containers are made from it.  Typically it is not known for its strength, but through our unique design and the grade of plastic we use we have overcome this problem (see, Will they break?).<back>

Temperature:
Your hooks will not normally melt in your garage, but the may become more limber.  The L-Pegs, for instance, may hold less weight in a very hot garage (100+F).  Garages often do get very hot in Summer, but as a rule you will have no problems. (Please contact us if you do!)<back>
Cold temperatures can be more of a problem for the hooks.  They can become brittle at low temperatures.  We suggest that you not install or remove the hooks at low temperatures (below freezing) as the hook may break off.  The hooks are fully functional once installed but you may want to avoid hitting them sharply  in cold weather.<back>

Weight:
Pegs Locking Hooks^tm  are specified to hold 15 lb.  We don't recommend that you apply much more weight than that.  The holes in your pegboards were not designed to hold large amounts of weight and it can be very dangerous to try to do so.<back>

Breaking:
Actually it is rather hard to break a hook during normal use (see, cold above).  It is much easier to bend them so that the lock no longer functions as well as it should.  We have also found that sometimes if you really slam them into the pegboard the lock may break off.  We suggest that you insert them gently and don't hammer them into place.<back>

Damaging Pegboard:
There have been other plastic, latching pegboard hooks in the past and some of these would damage the pegboard by enlarging the holes.  Effectively, that meant that you could only use your hook once in that set of holes.  Pegs Locking Hooks^tm will not damage your pegboard if you install and remove them properly.<back>

Falling Out:
Your Pegs Locking Hooks^tm  will not fall out under normal use.  Having said that, you can even rip them out, but typically this means you have damaged your pegboard.<back>

Removing:
Since your hooks do lock into the pegboard you need to be gentle when you remove them. Otherwise, you may damage your pegboard.  On thinner boards, you can often gently pry up and the hooks will come out.  On thick boards, it is often necessary to use a small screwdriver to push up on the lock so that it will release.  To do this, pull the hook away from the board and insert a small screwdriver through the hole and under the lock.  Gently push it up while pulling on the hook.  Be careful that you do not enlarge the pegboard hole.<back>
