calphlon knows what they're doing
These hooks are what you need for any Calphon pot rack. you can get everyday hooks at your local hardware store for much less, but they will come flying off the rack everytime you want to retrive a pot.
These hooks are desinged for the Calphon racks and they stay put!
They work for 20x56 oval rack
I purchased the Calphalon 20x56 rack from CutleryAndMore because Amazon wouldn't match their lower price. I love the rack. These hooks fit it fine, but aren't exactly the same as the ones that came with the rack. I hesitated to buy hooks at Amazon because of the reviews saying they don't fit. I returned some of these hooks I got at a local BedBathBeyond because they did not fit. Looks like Amazon may have some new stock that fixed the problem.
July2005 update - I bought another set of these from Amazon, and one of the hooks was too small to fit on my rack. Looks like a manufacturing problem. Took me about 5min with a metal file to make it fit. I'd still buy them because I can't find anything else that works for this rack. ... Read More
Poor quality control; poorly manufactured.
I recently installed a wall-mounted Calphalon pot rack, which I like a lot. Unfortunately, the two hooks I just ordered both fail to work properply with the potrack. One is simply too small to fit onto the rack; the other one fits on but is too large, and comes off when removing pans. Additionally, these hooks are either made from a different material and/or finsihed differently from the ones that shipped with pot rack originally.
Calphalon would be better off charging more money for hooks that actually work than continuing to ship these things. Whatever company Calphalon has contracted to make these things is doing a terrible job.
Wrong Shape for Calphalon Rack
I purchased the 18x36 oval Calphalon rack from Amazon and have been very pleased with it. Amazon keeps suggesting I purchase additional hooks from Calphalon and I did -- only to discover that they were mis-shaped and didn't fit onto the rack. I am very disappointed in the lack of quality.
They are hooks... they hook
They do what they hold themselves out to do. And considering how hard its been finding these items, who can complain?
