I made the hook out of an old veggie can lid I got out of the trash and rinsed with water.

You can use all sorts of materials for the hook so long as it is not too thick and the slope you make can intersect with the wall, door or mounting plaque and extend upward from the intersect to a point beyond the point where the pin makes contact with and rests on the hook.

Most any angle from 30 to 60 degrees will work although there are probably formulas to determine what angle is best, i.e., what angle puts the least stress on all the points where stress is least tolerated.
