Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this fastener suitable for outdoor use?
The high-temperature baked finish provides good corrosion resistance, but it is primarily intended for internal use on casement windows.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, each fastener includes matching stainless steel wood screws.
Can I install this on a left-handed or right-handed window?
Yes, the product features a reversible design, making it suitable for both orientations.
What is the overall length of the handle?
The overall length of the unit is 112mm.
Are the dimensions uniform for every piece?
Because each piece is hand-forged by blacksmiths, minor variations in the shape and dimensions are a natural characteristic of the product.
Will the finish fade over time?
The black finish is baked in a high-temperature oven for durability, though like any finish, it should be protected from harsh abrasive contact to maintain its sheen.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Verify that the mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wood substrate is solid; if the wood is stripped, use wood filler before re-inserting screws.
Fastener does not latch securely
Adjust the positioning of the mortice plate to ensure it aligns perfectly with the monkeytail lever catch.
