Safe, clutter-free spaces since 1992.
Coat hooks should be tough enough to handle busy, full classrooms.
That’s what we think, anyway. The spaces where kids learn and play need to be durable enough to last more than a year or two.
Over 30 years ago, when the first HangSafe Hook was designed by Kevin Schauer, he chose polycarbonate plastic — the same materials they use for football helmets and airplane windows. Any other material could break too easily and HangSafe Hooks were always meant to hold up to busy, full spaces with kids running full speed.
HangSafe Hooks is proud to be the only manufacturer of the polycarbonate, flat-profile coat hook in our 33 years of business. The sleek, safe design has proven to withstand generations of kids. Even better, our lifetime warranty guarantees that if one of our hooks break, we’ll replace it for free.
HangSafe Hooks are the last coat hooks you’ll need!
What makes HangSafe Hooks the last hook you will need?
Unlike traditional coat hooks, our trademark flat-profile design is 7 inches tall, allowing for 3 1/2 inches of hanging space. Each hook is mounted with 2″ stainless steel screws and washers, preventing hooks from pulling away from the racks. We’ve tested the design extensively over the last 30 years and one hook can hold a backpack, lunchbox, and coat with ease.
We’re often asked how much a hook can hold and the answer is: we haven’t maxed it out yet.
Our family’s priority for two generations.
HangSafe Hooks was founded by Kevin & Candra Schauer more than three decades ago when Kevin first designed a safety coat hook. It was a simple solution for a common problem: protruding, metal coat hooks hung at eye level. Kevin witnessed his young son, Aric, playing rambunctiously near metal eye pokers in a church hallway. “Those have to come off the wall,” Kevin told a nearby leader to which he replied, “We have to have storage.”
And he was right.
Schools, churches, after-school programs all need one thing, storage for a child’s belongings. It’s really the only way to keep the floors clutter-free and the learning environment safe from trips and falls. In the middle of the night, Kevin had the idea of a polycarbonate plastic hook sticking up and down on a rack — and the HangSafe Rack system was born.
Over the last 30 years, we’ve watched as this simple, yet powerful idea has transformed hallways and classrooms into safe, organized spaces.
Our family’s priority has remained the same: to provide the highest quality coat racks and toughest hooks on the market so the spaces where children learn and play are clutter-free and safe. Millions of hooks are in the world today — we’re grateful to provide storage for students and help teachers keep a tidy learning environment.
