StoreWALL U Hook
The U Hook is a compact, affordable hook with a wide U-shaped opening — suited to items you drop onto the hook from above rather than thread through a loop. At just $19.99 it's one of the most cost-effective hooks in the range, and at 45kg capacity it handles far more weight than its size suggests. CamLok™ pre-installed. Sold as a single hook.
A Tip Cap can be added to the end of the hook for safety in high-traffic areas — available separately in the StoreWALL accessories range.

What the U Hook is best for
- Brooms and mops — drop the handle into the U opening, bristles face down

- Keys and keyrings — a dedicated spot that's always in the same place
- Dog leads and collars — always accessible near the garage entry
- Garden hand tools — trowels, hand forks, and small tools with a wrist loop
- Fishing rods and nets — rod handle drops into the U opening
- Lightweight straps and cords — coiled leads, bungee cords, tie-down straps
U Hook vs Cradle Hook — choosing between them
Both hooks have an open U-shaped profile, but they serve different purposes:
- U Hook (this product) — 50mm deep, 45kg. Compact and shallow — suits lightweight items hung close to the wall. Best for brooms, bags, keys, and small tools.
- Cradle Hook — 146mm deep, 90kg. Deeper cradle — suits round or cylindrical items that need more reach from the wall to hang securely, like garden hoses and extension leads.
If your item is flat or lightweight and hangs close to the wall, the U Hook is the more affordable option. If it's cylindrical, heavy, or needs more clearance, the Cradle Hook is the better fit.
Frequently asked questions
Can it hold a full-size broom?
Yes — a standard broom handle drops into the U opening easily and the bristles hang below the hook. The 45kg capacity is well above the weight of any broom. For multiple brooms and garden tools from a single hook, the Heavy Duty Tool Hook is the more practical option.
Is it compatible with all StoreWALL panels?
Compatible with Standard Duty, Heavy Duty StoreWALL panels, and MKE Slatwall panels. The CamLok fits the same 76mm on-centre groove pitch across all three.
