Full details

The From the Anvil Slim Monkeytail Espag is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking to blend traditional aesthetic charm with contemporary window security. This fastener is an ideal choice for both uPVC and timber casement windows, offering a refined Antique Pewter finish on a durable solid brass base. While it provides excellent tactile feedback and a classic silhouette, users should note that as a surface-mounted accessory, it requires precision alignment with your existing window's espagnolette locking mechanism during the initial installation phase.

What is the spindle size?

The handle is designed to work with a standard 7mm square spindle.

Can I use this on a window without an espagnolette mechanism?

No, this fastener is specifically engineered to operate an espagnolette locking system.

How do I maintain the Antique Pewter finish?

What material is the handle made from?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Check that the grub screw is fully tightened against the 7mm spindle and ensure the mounting screws are flush against the plate.

Window won't lock or unlock fully

The spindle may be too long or the alignment with the espagnolette gearbox is slightly off. Verify that the gearbox is functioning independently of the handle.

Surface finish showing marks

If the finish appears dull, clean with a soft dry cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners that could interact with the brass base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction for long-term reliability
  • Sophisticated Antique Pewter finish complements various interior styles
  • Slim design fits well on windows with limited clearance
  • Simple, intuitive hinged operation
  • Matches both heritage and contemporary window types

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for the spindle length
  • Finish may develop a unique patina over time if exposed to harsh conditions
  • Not compatible with windows lacking a standard espagnolette mechanism

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure your window is fitted with a compatible espagnolette gearbox that accepts a 7mm spindle.

  1. Measure the required spindle length to ensure it clears the gearbox depth.
  2. Align the fixing plate (60mm x 18mm) with the existing screw holes or mark new pilot holes.
  3. Secure the handle using the provided matching M5 screws.
  4. Tighten the side-mounted grub screw to lock the handle onto the spindle.

For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scourers, as these can strip the Antique Pewter finish. A simple wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soapy water is sufficient to keep the hardware looking pristine.
