Description
A hook plate is one of those small parts that quietly makes a pendant possible. This one is flat, narrow and finished in galvanised metal, and it is supplied in twos, so there is a spare in the drawer for the next job. At 70mm long it stays discreet overhead, and the slim body keeps the whole thing tight and unfussy. There is nothing electrical about it: it simply gives a suspended flex or chain a hook to hang from.
We reach for these when a pendant needs a tidy hanging point above a dining table, in a hallway, or over a stairwell where the drop has to be held in place. They also earn their keep on festoon-style runs, where a flex is carried across a ceiling in several places rather than dropping straight down. Anyone building a light from parts, rather than buying one finished, tends to want a holder, a length of flex and something to hang it from, and this is the last of those three.
The galvanised coating gives the plate a hard-wearing, workmanlike character and shrugs off the dulling that kitchens and utility rooms can cause. Looking after it is a matter of a quick wipe whenever you are dusting the shade beneath, and nothing beyond that is asked of you. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the same plate with a curved hook, for flex that needs to leave at an angle, and it sits happily with the lampholders, leads and cable grips we keep in the same range, which is where most self-assembled pendants begin. Being non-electrical, it makes no demands of its own: the lamp is chosen for the fitting it carries.

Frequently Asked
How many plates come in a pack?
Two, so you can hang a pair of pendants or keep one back for a later job.
What are the dimensions?
70mm long, 18mm wide and 28mm high, so it reads as a small piece of hardware rather than a feature.
Is this an electrical part?
No. It is non-electric hardware with no lamp socket and no wiring of its own; anything electrical belongs to the fitting it supports.
What is the finish like?
A galvanised finish, chosen for durability rather than decoration. It suits utility spaces, workshops and industrial-leaning schemes well.
Is there a version for flex that leaves at an angle?
Yes, we stock a curved hook plate in the same range for exactly that.
How much does one weigh?
0.05kg each, which is why it is popular for lightweight flex-hung pendants.
