Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Umbra Sticks Wall-Mounted Coat Rack:
- Prepare the Wall: Choose a suitable location on a drywall, plaster, or brick surface. Ensure the area is clear of electrical wires or plumbing.
- Measure and Mark: Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the desired height and position for the coat rack. The rack measures 19.38 inches (49.3 cm) in length. Refer to the back of the rack for keyhole spacing, which is approximately 13.25 inches (33.6 cm) between the two main mounting points. Ensure your marks are level.
- Drill Pilot Holes: For drywall or plaster, drill pilot holes at your marked locations. Insert the provided drywall anchors into these holes. For brick, you may need a masonry drill bit and appropriate anchors (not included).
- Insert Screws: Drive the provided screws into the anchors, leaving a small portion of the screw head exposed. These exposed heads will fit into the keyhole slots on the back of the coat rack.
- Mount the Rack: Align the keyhole slots on the back of the coat rack with the exposed screw heads on the wall. Slide the rack down gently until it is securely seated.
- Test Stability: Gently pull on the mounted rack to ensure it is firm and stable before hanging any items.

Operating Instructions

- To Extend a Hook: Gently pull the desired "stick" downwards and outwards. It will pivot to form a hook.
- To Retract a Hook: Push the extended hook upwards and inwards until it sits flush with the main body of the rack.
- Weight Capacity: Each individual hook can support up to 5 lbs (2.3 kg). Do not exceed this weight limit per hook to prevent damage to the product or wall. The total weight capacity for the 5-hook model is 25 lbs (11.34 kg).

Maintenance
To keep your Umbra Sticks Coat Rack in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the rack feels loose, tighten the screws to ensure it remains securely attached to the wall.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the stated weight capacity per hook or the total weight capacity to prevent damage to the hooks or the mounting.
Troubleshooting
- Rack feels loose after installation:
Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened into the wall anchors. If using drywall anchors, confirm they are properly expanded within the wall. If the issue persists, consider relocating the rack to a stud or using stronger wall anchors.
- Hooks do not retract smoothly:
Check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism. Ensure no excessive force was applied that might have bent the internal components. If a hook is damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
- Items slide off hooks:
Ensure items are properly balanced on the hooks. Avoid hanging items with very smooth or slippery surfaces that might not grip the hook effectively. The design is intended to hold items securely when properly placed.
