Thread: strop hook

Oh yeah...about 2" above waist high.

SailBoatStuff Marine Hooks - Snap, Gooseneck Hooks, etc.

Maybe they are used for securing items inside the cabin whilst on the roiling sea. That way your coffee (shaving) mug won't slide off the counter and smash into bits when Moby Dick gives the boat a nice tail slap!

One of these:

Wickes *–*Doors & Windows*–*Door Furniture & Locks*–*Hooks*–*Robe Hook

A trip to the nearest hardware store will offer a wide variety of hook options, and at relative little cost. I have a hefty solid-brass hook that cost less than $2 that I got from a hardware store.

When I travel I use a carabiner on the ring of the strop. A large carabiner will fit over most towel bars in hotel bathrooms. A disadvantage of this is that it puts the strop anchor higher than the usual 2" above the waist. Quick to setup, secure and rugged, it works for me.

(This doesn't have to be an actual climbing carabiner, just those aluminum look-alikes sold at sporting goods stores and hardware store. Don't climb with it though...)

Hi, First post here I use a bbq utensil hook from B&Q, around 99p for 10 a nd fix it to a towel rail.

Fourth one down on your linked page is marketed as a strop hook. Available in brass or chrome finish. Guess that would be the one to get from them.

Well that is a lot of info but I have another suggestion. What ever hook you use try putting a very large fisning swivel between the strop and wall. Mack

I tap out the middle door hinge pin an inch or so and put it on there.

I bought a thing off ebay called a Razor Strop Hook. Nothing special about it but it works. It's screwed into the underside of my medicine cabinet which is about arm pit height.
