Almost straight hooks, do they have a special name?
I'm after some hooks, for utensils and such.
The ones I'm after are essentially just a metal bar sticking out at right angles from the wall (or the mounting bar to which they're fixed) with the end just turned up a little. The total length would be, say, 5cm with 3cm straight out from the wall and 2cm sloping upwards slightly. Do these have a special name? Has anyone seen a supplier who sells them? Individual hooks or a mounting bar with 6 to 10 hooks would both be OK. -- Chris Green · |

More good news. I grabbed a couple of bars with hooks as you describe, the bars being about four feet long. The bad news? They came out of a DSLAM cabinet. The Openreach chap left them on our garden wall. They sat there for a few days before finding their way to my shed :-) -- Graeme |

You may well have got there by now but searching the supply sites for shop fitters shows a fair range of such things . A walk in most medium sized towns early in the morning usually finds a skip outside some shop changing owners ,such items are often there for the taking. G.Harman |

Almost straight hooks, do they have a special name?
The ones I've seen seem to be plastic with kind of fingers sticking out
pointing slightly upward. dirtcheap in Wilkinsons. However if you want single ones and need metal, I've not seen any. Brian wrote in message ... I'm after some hooks, for utensils and such.
