Perko 0956 Cabin Door Hook, Chrome Plated Cast Bronze, #6 Screw Size

Overview

The Perko 0956 Cabin Door Hook is a chrome-plated cast bronze hook-and-eye latch for holding cabin doors, lockers, folding tables, or small interior panels open or closed on board. It is a simple piece of cabin hardware, but it solves a common problem on boats: keeping doors and panels from swinging, rattling, or shifting while underway or at the dock.

This 0956 series uses cast bronze construction with a chrome-plated finish, giving it the traditional look often found on classic and modern marine interiors. The hook lengths in this range run from 1-1/2 in. to 6 in., and the hook and eye are made to accept #6 flat or oval head screws.

Key features

• Chrome-plated cast bronze construction gives the hook a polished cabin-hardware finish with corrosion resistance for marine use.
• Hook-and-eye layout works for holding cabin doors, lockers, folding tables, and similar cabinetry open or closed.
• Available hook lengths cover 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 2-1/2 in., 3 in., 3-1/2 in., 4 in., 5 in., and 6 in. applications.
• Hook and eye each mount with countersunk holes and accept #6 flat or oval head screws.
• Useful for replacement work where the boat already has traditional Perko-style cabin hardware installed.

Variants

This cabin door hook is offered in multiple hook lengths, from 1-1/2 in. through 6 in. The length is the changing detail across the listed configurations, while the listed versions remain chrome-plated cast bronze cabin door hooks in the Perko 0956 family.

Shorter lengths are commonly used where the hook and eye mount close together, such as small lockers or compact cabin doors. Longer lengths give more reach between mounting points, which can help with wider gaps, folding tables, or replacement layouts where existing screw positions need to be considered.

Installation and fit

Before drilling, check the swing of the door or panel and confirm that the hook can reach the eye without binding. On thin cabin panels or trim, the screw length should be matched carefully so the fastener has enough bite without breaking through the opposite face.

The hook and eye accept #6 flat or oval head screws, so the final fastener choice should match the mounting surface, whether it is teak trim, fiberglass liner, plywood cabinetry, or another interior boat substrate. Bedding or sealing the screw holes may be appropriate where the hardware is exposed to moisture.

Use cases on board

This hardware is a good match for boat owners replacing worn cabin hooks, matching existing chrome cabin hardware, or adding a simple hold-open point for a door, locker, or folding table. It is most useful where a mechanical catch is preferred over magnets or plastic latches, especially in areas that see vibration and movement underway.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt residue from the chrome-plated finish when the area has been exposed to spray or damp gear, then dry it with a soft cloth. A light cleaning routine helps keep the hook moving freely and reduces staining around the mounting points.
