Triton Products 1-1/8" Steel Pegboard Hooks - Heavy Duty Single Rod 10-Pack Durahook, 90 Degree Bend, Fits 1/8 Inch and 1/4 Inch Duraboards and Pegboards

These hooks are the BEST when they work, but the screws my recent DuraHook purchases came with didn't work in my galvanized metal 1/4-inch pegboard (AlligatorBoard brand). When I bought some of these hooks a couple years ago they DID come with working screws. The screws I've received recently are slightly too small to hold in metal pegboard - by maybe about 1/32". Here are the kinds of screws I know of: 1. 1/4-inch screws the hooks I've ordered recently came with (too small for metal pegboard) 2. 1/8-inch screws the hooks also come with (have never used, this is for smaller pegboard) 3. 1/4-inch screws I received in the past (about 1/32-inch larger than the newer ones, work great in metal pegboard) You may see conflicting reviews on this site depending on what kind of pegboard people have and what kind of screws they received. I don't know if the manufacturer (Triton Products) changed the screws they use at some point or maybe there's another reason I received different screws at different times. In any case, I contacted the manufacturer and they were able to send me some of the slightly larger screws that work in metal pegboard. These work great, so you probably want this as Plan A. I wasn't able to find the right type of screws from anywhere other than Triton Products; it's an unusual screw made to hold in thin pegboard, with a very coarse thread and only 1/2" long. If you can't obtain the good screws, I explored a couple other options. If you can access the back of your pegboard, it's simple. Use bolts with nuts. If you can't and need a "blind hole" solution, one option I've found is "well nuts" also known as "rubber-insulated rivet nuts"; these are small rubber plugs with a threaded brass insert. When you tighten a bolt in them they compress and expand. It's not elegant but it works. The size you need is the 6-32 threaded, 1/4" hole size, 0.981" overall length. Pair it with a 1" 6-32 machine screw and perhaps an oversized #6 washer. The caveat with the well nuts is that they are almost an inch long, so you need some empty space behind your pegboard. The shorter well nuts I could find were too large in diameter to fit in the pegboard holes. If you don't have an inch behind your pegboard, you might be able to cobble something together by adding a lot of spacer washers to the long well nuts, or there are also non-removable blind rivets of various kinds (I haven't tried those). The DuraHook definitely will not work if you can't get a firm screw or bolt of some kind into your pegboard to hold them. If you have galvanized metal pegboard, don't plan on using the screws these hooks come with. (Though it's possible they work in some brands of metal pegboard, I don't know.)

I have a pegboard behind my workbench, and there are certain items that I use frequently. I was tired of the hooks coming off the pegboard when I retrieved these tools. I tried the plastic clips that are sold to hold down the hooks, but they were only marginally effective. These hooks are fantastic! The bottom of the mount hooks in to the pegboard, and the screw threads in to the pegboard hole above it. Very secure!

I like the sturdiness of the hooks!

My initial order arrived missing 2/3rds of the components. I requested a return & replacement thru Amazon and the seller responded very quickly. The items are quite sturdy and simple to install on my 1/4" metal pegboard. I only deducted a star because the first order arrived incomplete. I will certainly order more from this seller in the future. Good quality and good customer service! Ya gotta like that.

Well-made however the screws that came with the product did not work well in the metal peg tiles from Lowes. I had to buy machine screws for them to work to my satisfaction.

These are strong hooks and install easily. The ad says they fit 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch holes. That is incorrect. The tabs are 3/16 and will not fit in an 1/8-inch hole. One star deducted for false advertising. They are a little on the expensive side, too. Deduct another star. Also, if you buy the Triton HDF pegboard, expect all the pieces to be damaged.

Work great, stay's in pegboard

These peg board hooks are perfect for stores or shops, they can not be pulled out and with a peg lock they help prevent shoplifting/theft. I have had zero loss since I started using these. In my garage they are just as amazing, removing a tool or bumping a peg will not make these hooks come loose or fall off.
