eye hooks

Looped metal hardware

Eye hooks are hardware fasteners with a threaded shaft on one end and a circular loop on the other, used for hanging or securing objects.

The loop distinguishes them from regular hooks, allowing rope, wire, or other hooks to pass through: She screwed eye hooks into the ceiling to hang the planter.

Common in hardware stores for light-duty applications.
