FAQ
What type of hook should I use for my curtains?
Use pin hooks for standard pinch pleat curtains with heading tape. Use four-prong hooks for creating uniform French pleats from flat heading tape. Use S-hooks for connecting curtains with tape loops to rings. Use adjustable hooks when you need to fine-tune curtain height after installation.
How do I install four-prong pleater hooks?
Insert the four prongs into the pockets of the curtain heading tape at the desired pleat spacing. The prongs should penetrate the tape and exit through the front layer. The single hook at the top of the pleater attaches to the curtain ring or track glider. Space the pleater hooks at 10-15cm intervals for standard pleating.
How many hooks do I need per curtain panel?
For standard pleated curtains, use one hook per pleat, with pleats spaced 10-15cm apart. For a 140cm wide curtain panel with 10cm pleat spacing, you would need approximately 12-14 hooks. Always order extra hooks to allow for spacing adjustments and replacements.
Can these hooks be used with all types of curtain tape?
The LD-242 hooks are compatible with standard 75mm (3-inch) pleated heading tape and most universal heading tapes. For specialty tapes like smocking tape or pencil pleat tape, verify the tape pocket dimensions match the hook prong spacing. The pin hooks can be used with any tape type as they pierce directly through the fabric.
