Product Information
Full details
The From the Anvil Monkeytail Fastener is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to add authentic, 18th-century aesthetic appeal to their casement windows. This forged fastener provides robust locking functionality and versatile handedness, making it a reliable hardware upgrade for traditional properties. However, because it is primarily designed for internal use, users in high-moisture environments should be prepared to perform regular maintenance to preserve the integrity and finish of the black coating.

FAQs
Can I use this fastener on external windows?

Is the fastener left-handed or right-handed?
The design is fully reversible, meaning it can be installed on both left and right-hand opening casement windows.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, the product includes matching wood screws for a consistent and professional finish.
Will this work with weather-stripped windows?
Yes, it includes a mortice plate specifically designed to accommodate weather-stripped window frames.
What are the dimensions of the handle?
The overall length of the unit is 112mm, with a specific handle length of 90mm.
How do I clean the black finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the protective finish.
Troubleshooting
Fastener feels loose or wobbly after installation
Ensure the wood screws are fully tightened and check that the mortice plate is properly recessed into the window frame.
Handle is stiff to operate
Check for obstructions near the mortice plate and ensure the handle is correctly aligned; a light application of non-acidic lubricant may help.
Surface finish showing signs of oxidation
Gently clean the surface and apply a protective wax, specifically if installed in a humid or high-moisture environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Monkeytail fastener is straightforward, though it is recommended to use a pilot hole for the provided wood screws to avoid splitting the timber of your window frame. Ensure that the window is properly aligned before mounting the mortice plate to achieve the best seal. Regarding compatibility, this unit is designed specifically for casement windows. To maintain the black finish, wipe the fastener periodically with a soft, dry cloth. If you live in a high-moisture climate or have the fastener installed in a humid room, applying a light coating of maintenance wax can provide an additional layer of protection against the elements.
