Product Information
Full details
The From the Anvil Slim Monkeytail Espag is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking to marry traditional aesthetic charm with modern security requirements on timber or uPVC windows. Its primary benefit is a slim, versatile profile that fits narrow frames while offering robust locking capabilities, though users must pay close attention to the handedness of their existing window configuration to ensure a correct fit.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How do I know if I need a Left Hand or Right Hand handle?
Looking at the window from the inside, if the window is hinged on the left side, you require a left-hand fastener.
Can this be installed on uPVC windows?
Yes, the slim fixing plates are specifically designed to fit both timber and uPVC window frames.
What is the spindle size?
The product includes a 7mm x 70mm spindle.
Is the finish durable for outdoor use?
Yes, the black finish is baked at high temperatures to provide significant corrosion resistance.
What is included in the package?
The package includes the monkeytail espagnolette fastener and matching SS M5 mounting screws.
Can I lock the handle?
Yes, the handle features an integrated grub screw that allows you to lock the fastener in place.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check the grub screw to ensure it is tightened correctly against the spindle and verify the mounting screws are flush against the plate.
Handle does not reach the locked position
Ensure your espagnolette gearbox is fully functional and not obstructed by debris; verify the spindle length matches your gearbox depth.
Finish showing signs of wear
Clean with a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth; avoid chemicals that contain ammonia or strong solvents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your window is compatible with a 7mm spindle. Note that this unit is specifically for left-handed (LH) applications; identify the correct hand by looking at your window from the inside: if it is hinged on the left, you need a left-hand fastener.
- Measure your current spindle length to ensure 70mm is sufficient for your gearbox depth.
- Align the fixing plate with your window sash.
- Secure using the provided matching SS M5 screws.
- Use the integrated grub screw to lock the handle position.
To maintain the finish, wipe the handle occasionally with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could compromise the high-temperature baked coating.
