Hotel hangers:
hook, bar or ring
The hanger is the item in the room that stays longest and disappears most often. This guide describes the four designs of the range, which belongs on which clothes rail, how many a room needs and what separates wood and plastic in daily use.
Hook, bar, clip bar, ring
All wooden hangers of the range measure 44 x 23 x 1.2 cm. What sets them apart is at the top at the hook and at the bottom at the bar.
With hook
- Chrome hook, bar for trousers
- For fixed clothes rails
- In wood, in beech, in black
- 50 per case
With anti-theft head
- Ball head runs in a closed ring
- Metal ring, Ø 3.8 cm, nickel- or brass-plated
- For removable or new rails
- Ring: 60 per inner pack, 1,020 per case
With clip bar
- Hook and metal clips on the bar
- Holds trousers and skirt at the waistband
- Two per room are enough
- Same size as the others
Which hanger on which rail
The choice is not made by the hanger but by the clothes rail in the wardrobe. Three cases.
The rail is screwed in place
Then it carries hangers with hook, with bar or with clip bar. The hook can be lifted off, which is no drawback in daily use, because the hanger stands in the wardrobe and not in the corridor. Houses that know their loss rate factor it in and buy the hanger with hook, because it is the more economical one.
The rail is removable or newly fitted
Then the hanger with anti-theft head belongs there: the ball head hangs in a closed metal ring that is threaded onto the rail before it is fitted. The hanger can be taken down and hung up again, but not taken off the rail while it is in place. For a rail with eight hangers the house needs eight rings.
The rail is fixed, the loss rate still high
Then the ring does not help, because it can only be threaded over the open end. Two ways remain: loosen the rail once and refit it with rings, or the hanger with hook and the house's print on the bar as a reminder.
The ring is the component: Those who want the protection order hangers and rings separately. The metal ring fits rails up to 3.8 cm in diameter, the plastic ring up to 3.5 cm. Measure the rail before ordering, do not guess.
Hangers per room, wood against plastic
Two numbers and one question of material, then the order stands.
How many hangers a room needs
Six to eight in the double room, two of them with clip bar. Ten to twelve in the suite. Plus a fifth reserve in the store, so that a missing hanger is replaced on the day of arrival before the guest misses it.
| Room | With hook or ring | With clip bar | Reserve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single room | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| Double room | 6 | 2 | 2 |
| Suite | 8 to 10 | 2 to 3 | 2 |
| Family room | 8 | 2 | 2 |
Wood or plastic
Wood is heavier, hangs more calmly on the rail and suits wardrobes of wood or veneer. Beech is the harder, paler version, black the one for dark wardrobes. The plastic hanger is lighter, unaffected by moisture and the choice for holiday apartments and houses that count the hanger as a consumable. Both come from German production: the wooden hanger without bar and the 44 cm plastic hanger.
Care
Wipe wood damp, do not soak; a hook that loosens is tightened. Plastic tolerates every cleaning agent. Hangers that break are usually overloaded: a coat belongs on two.
