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.
Chapel hat pegs?
These?
Dresser Hooks - try Google and look at images.
No, not quite. Dresser hooks have the end turned up at right angles, the hooks I'm thinking of have the end turned up at a much shallower angle. The shallow angle makes it really easy to slide things onto the hook.
No, see my previous reply, I'm after hooks with a gently sloping end rather than one that's vertical.
Good news: I know exactly what you mean as I bought a bar with 6 such hooks for kitchen utensils from (I think) M&S. Much easier to use than "cup hooks" or the like.
Bad news: that was c.1982!
HeteroHooks
I know what you mean but hard to find
Produces nothing at all with google.
:-) ... but you're right, they are *way* easier to put some sorts of things onto.
Yes, I'd found those but I suspect they're rather bigger than I'm after though I will take a look.
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 :-)
Google images - "Pegboard hooks" ?
Cheers
They're the right profile, yes. I'd want ones like the smaller ones made of a single bar rather than two bar ones.
These are pretty close to what I'm after:-
However I really want something a bit shorter for fixing permanently on a wall or cupboard panel.
Almost...
"Tool Hooks" is a good image search, but they're probably bigger than you want.
Cheers
Buy some of the short ones, cut the bent end off, make a wooden "back plate" of whatever size you want, drill holes, push prongs in (make a tight fit), screw to wall. Robert's your fathers brother. It is a DIY group after all ;)
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.

That's just about what I'm after, not incredibly elegant but not *so* bad. Dead cheap too! :-)
Yes, that may well be the answer, as you say this is DIY.
