Repair Or Replace A Loose Or Broken Double Towel Hook
What happens here
The presenter briefly applies threadlocker to a second hook, indicating a similar repair for another loose item (4:41-4:57). Then, the video addresses the completely broken hook. To remove its remnants, identify the two screws holding the metal mounting plate to the door. Use a Phillips head screwdriver (or appropriate multi-tool bit) to unscrew and remove these. If the plate is stuck by paint, a gentle tap or prying might be needed to free it, potentially causing minor paint damage that might need touch-up.
Goal: Clear the area of a broken hook's mounting plate to prepare for a new installation.
