Where are Hold Emporium climbing holds made?
All Hold Emporium climbing holds are proudly manufactured in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We design, mold, and cast our holds locally to ensure consistent quality, durability, and performance.

What materials are your climbing holds made from?
Our holds are cast using high-strength polyurethane resin specifically formulated for climbing holds. This material provides excellent durability, impact resistance, and texture retention for both commercial gyms and home climbing walls.

Who are your holds designed for?
Our holds are designed for a wide range of users including:

• Commercial climbing gyms
• Route setters
• Home climbing walls
• Schools and recreation facilities
• Training boards and climbing clubs

Whether you're building a large facility or a small home wall, our holds are built to perform.

Are your holds suitable for commercial climbing gyms?
Yes. Our holds are built to withstand the high traffic and repeated use found in commercial climbing facilities.

What kind of texture do your holds have?
Hold Emporium holds feature a carefully engineered climbing texture designed to provide excellent grip while minimizing skin wear. We balance performance and comfort to support both beginner and advanced climbers.

Are your holds durable?
Yes. Our polyurethane formula is designed for:

• High impact resistance
• Long texture life
• Strong bolt reinforcement
• Resistance to chipping and cracking

With proper installation and care, our holds will last for many years of climbing.

How should climbing holds be cleaned?
Climbing holds can be cleaned using:

• Warm water
• Mild detergent
• A soft brush

Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that may damage the texture.

For gyms, regular cleaning helps maintain grip and appearance.

Can your holds be used outdoors?
Yes, but prolonged exposure to UV and weather may shorten their lifespan. Outdoor walls should be maintained and inspected regularly.

Are your climbing holds safety tested?
All Hold Emporium holds are designed with structural integrity and safety in mind. We use reinforced bolt placements and high-strength polyurethane to ensure reliable performance.

Proper installation and inspection of climbing walls and hardware are essential for safe use.

Are your holds compatible with standard climbing walls?
Yes. Our holds are designed to work with standard 3/8"-16 T-nuts, which is the industry standard used in most climbing gyms and home climbing walls.

Do your holds require bolt-on or screw-on installation?
Most Hold Emporium holds are bolt-on using a standard climbing hold bolt. Many holds also include set screw holes to prevent spinning when installed.

What bolt length should I use?
Bolt length depends on the thickness of your climbing wall and the hold itself. Most installations use 1.5"–3.5" climbing hold bolts.

Typical guideline:

Wall ThicknessCommon Bolt Length3/4" panel2" – 2.5"1" panel2.5" – 3"thicker volumes3"+

Always ensure the bolt fully engages the T-nut without bottoming out.

How tight should I tighten climbing holds?
Climbing holds should be tightened firmly using a hex wrench or socket wrench. Over-tightening can damage T-nuts or hardware.

Typical recommended torque range:
15–25 ft-lbs depending on hold size.

Are your holds suitable for commercial climbing gyms?
Yes. Our holds are built to withstand the high traffic and repeated use found in commercial climbing facilities.
