FAQs

What material is the window fastener made from?

The fastener is forged from cast iron with a black powder-coated finish.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

It is not recommended for damp or exposed outdoor environments due to the cast iron material's susceptibility to rust. It is best suited for dry, interior window applications.

Can I use a power drill to install the screws?

No, it is crucial to tighten the screws by hand using a screwdriver. Power tools can cause the screws to shear.

What are the dimensions of this fastener?

The approximate dimensions are Width: 45mm x Height: 110mm. Please note that as the product is handmade, measurements may vary slightly.

Does it matter if my window opens to the left or right?

Yes, this is a left-handed fastener. Ensure your window operation matches this specification for proper fit and function.

How do I maintain the fastener to prevent rust?

Regularly apply a household wax polish to the cast iron surface. Keep the fastener in a dry environment, away from moisture.

What is included with the product?

The product comes with screw fixings for installation.

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled first. Tighten screws manually with a screwdriver; do not use power tools.

Fastener appears to be rusting

Cast iron is susceptible to rust. Apply a regular coat of household wax polish to the surface to protect it. Ensure the window is in a dry environment.
