Product Information
Full details
The From the Anvil Monkeytail Fastener is ideal for homeowners and restorers seeking an authentic 18th-century aesthetic for their casement windows without sacrificing modern durability. Forged from high-quality solid brass with a resilient Antique Pewter finish, this fastener provides a warm, classic look and excellent anti-corrosion protection. While it offers a timeless design and easy installation for most windows, users should note that the traditional aesthetic may require specific window frame profiles for an optimal flush fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as the unit comes with all required wood screws. Ensure your window frame allows for the 101mm handle length before drilling. When installing on draught-sealed windows, use the provided mortice plate to ensure a tight, secure seal. To maintain the finish, wipe the fastener periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can strip the protective Antique Pewter coating. If the fastener becomes stiff over time, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant on the pivot point will restore smooth functionality.
