Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cabin hook?
A cabin hook is a simple door fastening consisting of a hooked bar that drops into a fixed staple or eye. It is used to hold a door, gate, or shutter open or closed. The hook can be lifted out of the staple to release the door. Cabin hooks are commonly used on garden gates, shed doors, stable doors, and interior doors.
What is the difference between a cabin hook and a barrel bolt?
A cabin hook uses a hooked bar that drops into a staple — it holds the door in a fixed open or closed position and is easy to operate with one hand. A barrel bolt slides horizontally into a keep and is typically used to lock a door shut. Cabin hooks are better suited to holding doors open, while barrel bolts are better for securing doors closed.

This cabin hook has a 200mm hook length and a bar width of approximately 35mm. The 200mm size is well suited to garden gates, shed doors, and heavier interior doors where a positive, secure hold is required.
