FAQs

What is a fitch fastener?

A fitch fastener is a type of window latch that typically consists of a rotating bar (the fastener) that secures into a plate (the keep), often used on sash windows.

Can this fastener be used on any window type?

This fastener is specifically designed for sash windows, particularly those with narrow top rails due to its thin fixing keep.

How do I lock the fastener?

The fastener has a locking mechanism operated by a grub screw, which you tighten to secure the fastener in place.

What material is the finish?

The finish is Pewter.

Are screws included?

Yes, it is supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws.

How is the 'Purple' colour achieved?

The 'Purple' designation refers to a specific colour family or collection within From The Anvil's range, likely applied as a coating or finish. The specific finish is Pewter.

What are the dimensions of the fixing and keep plates?

Both the fixing plate and the keep plate measure 64mm x 15mm.

Troubleshooting

Fastener does not engage with the keep.

Ensure the keep plate is correctly aligned with the fastener. Check that the fastener is fully rotated into the keep. Verify the window is fully closed and that there are no obstructions.

Grub screw is difficult to turn.

Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the grub screw threads. Ensure the grub screw is clean and free of debris.

Window rattles when fastened.

Check that the grub screw is sufficiently tightened. Ensure the keep plate and fastener are securely screwed to the window and frame.

Fastener finish appears dull.

Clean the fastener with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly. Avoid using metal polishes.
