NF-K Retractable Hook, Square, 2-1/2" Matte Black

NF-K Retractable Hook Square 2-1/2 Matte Black Use

NF-K Retractable Hook Square 2-1/2 Matte Black is a decorative hook from Sugatsune America designed for applications where a flush profile matters. The arm section is spring powered and automatically folds back in when no force is exerted on it, so the hook actively retracts out of the way after use. That spring-powered action keeps the arm from hanging loose, which helps reduce snag points around walkways, cabinetry, or work areas. When the arm is folded in, the product does not protrude, creating a neat design that suits clean modern layouts. That non-protruding position also supports safety in tight spaces where people or materials pass close to the mounting surface. As a square style in a 2-1/2 inch size with a matte black finish, it functions as both a practical hanging point and a visual detail that aligns with contemporary hardware.

Retractable Hook Details That Support Daily Use

• The arm section is spring powered and automatically folds back in when no force is exerted on it, so after items are removed the hook returns to a closed position, limiting interference along the surface.
• The product does not protrude when the arm is folded in, which keeps the mounting area visually clean and reduces catch points along cabinet ends, panels, or similar surfaces.
• A neat design results from the arm folding into the body, so the hook presents as a compact square element that aligns with decorative hardware layouts when not actively holding items.
• The matte black appearance provides a consistent dark finish, allowing the hook to coordinate with other black builders hardware in the same installation zone for a unified look.
• A round type is also available, giving flexibility to match other project hardware forms when choosing between square and round decorative hooks in the same series.

Retractable Hook Mounting And Layout Considerations

The arm section is spring powered and automatically folds back in when no force is exerted on it, so the hook changes position based on applied load rather than manual resetting, which influences where it is placed in a run of hardware. The product does not protrude when the arm is folded in, allowing it to be mounted in tighter corridors or on cabinet faces where fixed hooks could interfere with traffic. Because it is part of Sugatsune America decorative hooks in a 2-1/2 inch square format, it fits projects that balance functional hanging space with a controlled footprint. Can also be mounted to sheet metal using the NF-50D or NF-50 bracket (sold separately), which extends its mounting options onto metal panels or cases without changing the retracting behavior.

Where This 2-1/2 Inch Square Hook Works Best

The arm section is spring powered and automatically folds back in when no force is exerted on it, so this hook suits locations where hanging points are needed only part of the time, such as occasional garment or tool spots. The product does not protrude when the arm is folded in, which makes it suitable on vertical faces along passage routes, cabinet ends, or storage panels where clearance is limited. As part of decorative hooks in the builders hardware category, the square format supports layouts where visible hardware must stay orderly even when not under load. A round type is also available, so layouts can mix or standardize shapes while keeping the same retracting behavior, depending on visual goals across adjacent surfaces.

Why This NF-K64-BL Design Supports Clean Results

The spring powered arm that automatically folds back in when no force is exerted on it provides a predictable motion path, so installers can plan clearances knowing the arm will rest in the retracted position when not bearing weight. The product does not protrude when the arm is folded in, which helps keep lines straight along panels and reduces the chance of objects dragging against the hook during normal movement past the surface. The square 2-1/2 inch matte black format means the hook reads as a defined geometric element, which complements other black hardware and creates a consistent visual band when multiple hooks are aligned. Can also be mounted to sheet metal using the NF-50D or NF-50 bracket (sold separately), extending its use from traditional wood or solid panels to metal casework while keeping the same clean, retracting profile.
