TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Bagmate® is a carefully engineered, injection moulded polycarbonate hook from which a bag, or other small item of personal luggage, can be suspended by its own handle or strap*. The item is easily placed onto the Bagmate® but some coordination is required for its removal, making 'handbag snatching' virtually unachievable.

All of our current hook designs are for the under-side of tables, bars, and benches or walls & the back of doors.

For the under-side of tables, our designs are affixed so that the hook opening faces inwards towards the center and away from the edge of the table so as to minimise bag snatching.

The maximum weight Bagmate will hold is approximately 15kg, but of course that will depend on the strength of the screw or adhesive fixing which holds the bagmate in place.

* Shoulder length handbags will need to be hooked via the ring fastener between strap and bag.

HOW TO INSTALL BAGMATE HOOKS

NOTE: For tables with only 2 chairs at opposite ends, position Bagmate hook10 cm in, half way along most accessible edge of table between the 2 seats.

Timber, Plastic & Laminex Surfaces

Supplied – Self Tapping Screws

You need – Pen and Screwdriver and/or Cordless Drill

1. Place Bagmate evenly between chairs with hook opening facing centre of table.
2. Mark screw holes with pen.
3. CAUTION: Ensure screws & holes shorter than table top depth!
4. Drill holes with 3-4mm drill bit. Depth to suit length of screws.
5. Screw in screws. (If using cordless drill this can be done omitting point 4)

Other **Smooth Surfaces

Supplied – Adhesive Pad    

 *You need – Pen, Abrasive Kitchen pad (no soap), Pure Alcohol & water solution or “Septone” wax & grease remover and clean cloth

1. Place Bagmate evenly between chairs with hook opening facing centre of table.
2. Mark position with removable ink.
3. Ensure both surfaces are clean and free from chemical residue using alcohol solution – allow to dry
4. Rub abrasive cloth over base of Bagmate
5. Affix adhesive pad primarily to largest part of underside Bagmate surface with caution.  Peel “white backing” to fit exact circumference. (Accuracy is imperative as pad adheres immediately.)
6. Red side should be showing at this point, smooth out any air bubbles firmly.
7. Remove red tape and apply Bagmate to position marked under table top or counter surface using some pressure to hold in place
8. Allow 24 hours prior to use for best results

** Adhesive pads are suited to smooth surfaces. Glue does not fill gaps so rippled glass surfaces or rough chip board will not bond – if your surface is such, the only way to affix would be to drill into the frame of the table if feasible or use screws, please call us for advice if you are unsure.

PLEASE NOTE: Proper Preparation of both surfaces is imperative. Do NOT use Turps, Metho or Acetone – these will leave residue. Must use recommended Septone, pure alcohol or pure alcohol & water solution.

Installation Tips – For tables you can lift

• Select one table in centre of section (work table), place any table top numbers/condiments on chair (this will prevent mixing up table numbers and should be practiced with each table)
• Use blanket or protective cloth to protect table top surfaces on work table.
• Place tables upside down, one at a time on top of this central work table to install hooks with cordless drill or self adhesive pad, as per the recommendation for your under-table surface type.
