black square bend hooks

March 3, 2019 8:41 AM

I’m looking for black (or a dark tone) square bend hooks. All I see are zinc or brass coated. Feel like I’m searching wrong... am I really the only one who would want these?

I have found painting with enamel sometimes is my only expedient option to get from off the shelf hardware [e.g. brackets and hooks] to the right color for my application. This may or may not be a good solution for you.

Check out the Lee Valley hardware catalogue online. They may have what you're looking for.

Best answer: I don’t see much black/blackish hardware for sale, so I can’t offer a recommendation there. But, if you find some hooks you really like, you can blacken them yourself.

Their site has other options, too. I would imagine any hardware you found to buy would have undergone a similar process, so this might be a good way to get the effect you’re after.
