A 133-piece mixed selection of PVC coated, zinc and brass plated hooks and eyes. Nylon plugs are included for masonry fixing. Handy for anyone who needs a range of sizes without committing to a single box of one type.
A hooks and eyes mixed tray is one of those things that earns its place in the van pretty quickly. You pick up a job that needs a gate fastening, a cupboard catch, a curtain hook, or a simple latch on a shed door, and instead of rooting through four different boxes to find what you need, it’s all in one tray. This 133-piece assortment covers a practical range of sizes and finishes, including PVC coated, zinc plated and brass plated options, so you can match the fixing to the surface without compromising on appearance or corrosion resistance.
Nylon plugs are included in the pack, which matters more than it sounds. A lot of these jobs involve fixing to masonry, and having the plugs ready to go saves the usual rummage through the back of the van for something that’s inevitably gone missing. Small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that keeps a job moving.
Where a Hooks and Eyes Mixed Tray Earns Its Keep
These fixings turn up in an enormous variety of situations. Gate hooks on timber fencing. Cupboard latches in kitchens and utility rooms. Picture hanging in residential properties. Hook-and-eye closures on shed and outbuilding doors. Rope management on boat fittings. Curtain track fastenings. They’re not glamorous, but they come up constantly, and having a mixed selection on hand means you’re ready for most of them without a trip to the merchant.
The variety of finishes in this hooks and eyes assortment also makes it genuinely useful rather than just convenient. Brass plated options suit interior joinery and cabinetry where appearance counts. Zinc plated hooks are more suited to exterior use where light weather exposure is expected. The PVC coated pieces add a bit more protection and are useful in damp environments like outbuildings or workshops.
A Note on the Nylon Plugs
Fixing hooks and eyes into masonry without plugs is an exercise in optimism. The plugs in this tray are included specifically for that scenario, whether it’s a brick wall, a rendered surface, or a block partition. Drill the hole, push the plug, drive the screw thread of the hook or eye in directly. Job done with no separate fixings required.
At this price point, this tray works well as a top-up for the site toolbox, a general-purpose addition to a maintenance kit, or a straightforward starter selection for a tradesperson covering a broad range of light fixing jobs.
Pro Tip: When fixing a hook or eye into a plug in masonry, thread it in slowly by hand first to engage the plug before using pliers to drive it home, forcing it in too fast splits the plug before it has a chance to grip.
Hooks and eyes from this mixed tray are used across a wide range of everyday fixing jobs. Gate latches on timber fencing, cupboard and wardrobe catches, shed door closures, curtain fixings, picture hanging, rope guides, and general fastening tasks in both domestic and light commercial properties all call for this type of fixing regularly. The mixed format is particularly useful for general builders, joiners, maintenance workers, and property managers who encounter varied jobs without knowing exactly which size will be needed until they get there.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for structural or load-bearing applications. These are light-duty fixings intended for general fastening tasks, not for securing anything subject to significant pulling force or dynamic load.
Select the appropriate hook or eye size and finish for the job. For timber fixing, mark the position, pilot drill if needed to avoid splitting, and screw in by hand or with pliers. For masonry, drill to the correct depth for the nylon plug, insert the plug flush with the surface, then drive the hook or eye into the plug until secure.
Select the correct size hook or eye for the job and check the finish suits the environment
For timber: mark the fixing point and pilot drill if the timber is hardwood or prone to splitting
Screw the hook or eye in by hand to start, then use pliers for the final turns to avoid damaging the thread
For masonry: drill a hole to match the nylon plug diameter and depth
Push the nylon plug into the hole until it sits flush with the surface
Thread the hook or eye into the plug by hand to engage it, then tighten with pliers until firm
How many pieces are in the tray and what finishes are included?
The tray contains 133 pieces in total, covering a mix of sizes across three finishes: PVC coated, zinc plated, and brass plated. Nylon wall plugs are also included for masonry applications.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
The zinc plated hooks and eyes in this assortment are suitable for light exterior use such as gate latches and shed fittings where some weather exposure is expected. For more exposed or coastal environments, a dedicated stainless or heavily galvanised fixing would give longer-term corrosion resistance.
This assortment includes hooks and eyes manufactured with PVC coating, zinc plating, and brass plating across the range. Zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general interior and light exterior use. Brass plating suits decorative interior applications. PVC coating adds an additional protective layer for damp or humid environments. Nylon wall plugs are included to support direct masonry fixing without the need for separate fixings.
