About Us

At Hooks and Hinges, we believe that the right fix makes all the difference. Whether it needs to be hooked, fastened, secured, or repaired, we’re your trusted one-stop shop for getting the job done properly – the first time.

Behind the brand is a powerhouse duo: Dries Schutte and Elize Henn. With over 39 years of hands-on technical experience, Dries brings unmatched expertise to every project – from repairing canopies and trailers to crafting custom canopies that are as tough as they are reliable. If it can be fixed, modified, or improved, chances are Dries has done it (and done it well).

Elize, on the other hand, is the engine that keeps everything running smoothly. A seasoned entrepreneur with more than 20 years of management experience, she brings structure, strategy, and a sharp eye for detail to the business. Where Dries builds, Elize ensures everything connects – seamlessly.

Together, they form a team that thrives on solving problems and delivering practical, high-quality solutions for every customer who walks through their doors.

And when they’re not working? You’ll likely find them doing what they love most – solving puzzles. Whether it’s piecing together a challenging design or exploring quaint small towns, Dries and Elize share a passion for figuring things out. It’s this same curiosity and determination that drives Hooks and Hinges every day: finding the right solution, no matter how complex.

Hooks and Hinges isn’t just a business – it’s a place where experience meets passion, and where every fix tells a story.
