Why do Japanese toilets have double hooks on their doors? soranews24.com

Contrary to popular belief, this design wasn’t made for coats, hats, or doorstoppers.
You may have seen these types of hooks outside of Japan, but here they’re an ubiquitous part of public toilet life, appearing in pretty much every public toilet stall.
And while there are hooks specifically advertised as anti-theft on the market, the one-hook styles are a little more difficult to use compared to the two-hook design.
So although the two-hook design now acts as a multi-purpose gadget to hold bags, coats and cushion the impact of opening doors today, this wasn’t the original impetus for creating the new design.
