Does anyone know of such a thing, it's for the hanging of a christmas wreath ?
Last year the hook i bought was completely unsuitable as just not strong enough for a fresh wreath and the hook part wasn't wide enough or crafted right for a upvc front door.
If someone could give me a suggestion who sells these i'd be most grateful

I would have thought it would damage the seal round the door frame.
It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.1 -
We've used one for years that I bought at Lakeland - no damage to the door seal so far.

I sincerely hope not !chrisw said:I would have thought it would damage the seal round the door frame.

I've not even found one that actually fits the size let alone see how it 'sits', i'll report back if i find a suitable one.0 -

....having just found one on their site i can confirm it's not going to fit a uPVC front door.
It's the same type as i bought last year and it's not wide enough to hang on one.
The search continues.0 -
Hmmm, looks like i'll be doing the DIY/ribbon thing again this year
There's not a suitable hook made - certainly not what i have in my mind.
What i would make/patent would be a hook that looks like the standard ones but be modified like this:
*Made of tougher metal.
*That was thinner over the top of the door (so that it wouldn't interfere with the seal/locking mechanisms).
*Had a long, thicker, back of door section (to counter balance the heavy item hung at front, standard ones just bend under the weight of my wreaths)
*And have a strong body (to hold the thick, heavy, item.
Yes it would obviously be dearer but at least it would be man enough for the job.
What i want hasn't even been made yet - which is the story of my life
