The plate I want to hang has gilding along the edge, so are the hooks cushioned good enough it will not scratch the paint off the edge of the plate??

I don't know. The prongs are fairly well padded, but I think the only way you're going to get an answer to this is to order it and fit it to the plate. You can always send it back if you don't think it will protect the plate; family heirlooms are too precious to trust to "almost right."

The vinyl covering on the hooks are very nice. The vinyl is thick enough to cushion and extends from the tip of the hook around to the back. The same amount of clear vinvl is in back of the piece as the front. The tip is completely encased. The hook is pliable by hand - allowing you to fit the hook to the piece easily enough. I have 2 metal platters - one is oddly shaped and fairly weighty. I do take the platters down to use several times a year, so the hangers get repositioned around the pieces often. So far (a couple of years) the hangers have been durable.

It hasn't scratched my wood finish at all, but I imagine it could be possible to scratch the paint. The magnet is strong enough though, that gluing some felt over the magnet wouldn't affect it's ability to open the locks, and would definitely protect your paint. To me it would be worth doing, because these locks are by far the best cabinet child lock system that I've found.

That is what the package they came in stated. I can tell you I purchased two different sets. The other set I purchased did not have the two hooks. This set is way heavier and far better quality than the other set I purchased. I have had mine less than a month so I really can't address whether they rust, but I can't imagine that it would be a problem for some time. Hope that helps.

No, the hooks are not thick. Our house is relatively new and things fit pretty snugly, but we can still close the door where this unit hangs. There are 3 hooks. I did notice that the wood molding above the door where this hangs has 3 grey stripes on it. That's from the metal hooks rubbing on it. However, it's just color and will come off if you use one of those Mr. Clean Eraser pads. The hooks did not score or damage the wood...it just left 3 grey stripes.

Absolutely! No problem at all and the hooks are very sturdy. A great find, and it's cheap!

I highly doubt thy will rest. Pretty sure they are stainless steel. Just an fyi - if I had to buy this item again I would buy a wider one. (these are only approx. 1 inch wide.) However, with that said 1 of my hooks is holding at a 1 lb. metal house number.

It's pretty good though I mounted them traditionally. I'd say that the only concern I have after using them is grabbing the frame causes some wear on the paint. This might be worse mounted sideways.

Yes, the hooks are metal, coated with rubbery plastic. There's also a center latch to prevent the hooks from bouncing off.

I have not noticed any scratches. I have a hatch back and the metal hooks fit snuggly to the top and bottom of the hatch.

I have one and it is kind of a slick surface. I don't think it will hold paint very well.

I have not seen any noticeable scratches. The metal of the hooks actually touch the car at the curve behind and under the trunk lip

They are metal so if you have a low quality/painted shower curtain rod, they will scratch the bar. No more so than other metal shower curtain rings though. You would need hooks with balls on the top to prevent scratching. They don't get stuck or overlap each other if you're using a traditional shower curtain (which has individual holes for each hook). I've used these hooks for other Pinterest-y projects (a tie rack and belt rack) and they can get tangled up and clank a little in that case but never saw this or heard any excessive noise when using them with my actual shower curtain. These are just very basic but very sturdy hooks and with 50, you'll never run out.

Why 2 lbs.? Is the painting framed? If you hot glue the d ring to the back of the canvas board, then the question might become, is the paper on the back of the canvas board strong enough, or will the paper separate from the board? Sounds a bit risky. It will hold for a while. If you frame the canvas board, then you will have a way to hang the art. There is probably a pre made frame that will fit your canvas board, and not be terribly expensive. If the canvas board is temporary, like something for a child's play, the hot glue solution should work. I hope this helps.

I haven't had it snag yet. You do have to keep the plates clean. After you've used it for a while, especially if you use it on hair that's had hair spray or other product applied to it (and it doesn't have to be much), the plates get dirty. So I clean them regularly and have never had a snagging problem. Dirty flatiron plates snag, that's been my experience. Since I don't let these get dirty because I get rid of any buildup and keep them pristine, they've never snagged.

I use these hooks to hang all my art of which I have a lot. The hooks are available in different sizes that correspond to the amount of pounds it will support (10, 20, 30, 50, & 100) Make sure you select the right hook that will support the weight of the piece of art. When in doubt, use the larger hook or two hooks 6 to 10 inches apart. If it is a really heavy piece such as a mirror then find a stud or use some kind of anchor bolts. The sales people at Home Depot can help you with that.

Oh yea, I would certainly say so. I used to hang up my backpack with books in it every night and that was at least 20-25 lbs. So unless you have some freakishly large pans, it should be ok. Although I should note that from some of the reviews it looks like some people are getting "real" brand name hooks and some people are getting different hooks that don't hold up as well. People complained about the finish peeling and hooks rusting and I haven't experienced that in the 2 years or so I've had them, and I've used a few in the bathroom and shower stall and still no rusting. I bought mine though Amazon and not one of the resellers. I don't know if that made a difference. Oh yea, I would certainly say so.

The hooks definitely are. I would only worry about the nails or screws you choose to hang them on the wall with.
