Each hook is individually cast in recycled brass, which means the surface may vary slightly from piece to piece — some have a warmer golden tone, others a more matte finish. The 5 cm long thread can be shortened with a metal file or saw to fit both thin doors (1-2 cm) and thicker doors (up to 5 cm). Doing Goods produces their brass items in collaboration with local artisans in India, where the casting technique has been passed down through generations.
Care and maintenance
Brass naturally develops a patina over time. Polish with lemon juice and salt or brass polish to maintain the golden finish. Avoid use in damp rooms without ventilation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between recycled brass and new brass?
Recycled brass is melted down from old brass items and recast. The quality is identical to new brass, but production uses up to 90% less energy. The color tone can vary more, as the alloy depends on the source material.
How do I shorten the thread on the Billy Elephant hook?
Use a metal file or a small hacksaw to cut the thread to the desired length. First, measure the thickness of the door or panel, then add 1–1.5 cm for the nut space on the back. You may want to lightly file the edge afterward so the nut screws on easily.
Can the Billy Elephant hook hold heavy jackets?
The hook is designed for light to medium-weight items — robes, bags, scarves, and children’s clothes. A winter jacket weighing 1–2 kg is fine, but avoid heavy leather jackets or bags filled with books. The weight should be supported by the mounting surface, not pull on the thread.
Is a brass hook a good christening gift?
Yes, the Billy Elephant hook works well as a christening gift for a child’s room — especially when paired with a towel or robe. Brass lasts for generations, and the elephant symbolizes wisdom and strength in many cultures. The hook can accompany the child from cradle to youth room.
Why does the color of Doing Goods brass hooks vary?
Doing Goods uses hand casting and recycled brass, where the alloy composition can vary slightly between batches. Some hooks have a warmer, almost coppery tone, others a cooler golden finish. This is part of the craft — not a defect.
