Window Hardware
Authentic Monkeytail Fastener Right Hand Beeswax Finish
Timber windows require hardware that respects their period heritage while providing the reliable daily operation necessary for a modern home. This monkeytail fastener takes its inspiration directly from 18th-century designs, which means you receive a product that captures the historic character of a property while maintaining full compatibility with contemporary casement window styles. It offers a tactile, authentic experience that elevates the appearance of any wooden frame through its classic curved profile and deliberate, intentional craftsmanship.
Forged from high-quality mild steel, each individual unit undergoes a specialised process to achieve its unique finish. The beeswax coating preserves the natural colour variations created during the forging phase, ranging from deep blue to rich red ochre tones. This finish provides a warm, matt texture that feels significantly softer to the touch compared to standard black powder coatings, so that your windows achieve a truly bespoke finish throughout your interior living spaces.

Why Choose the From The Anvil Monkeytail Fastener Right Hand Beeswax
Select this fastener to blend historic aesthetic appeal with the dependable security needed for modern timber casement windows.
Historic Visual Authenticity
The 18th-century design provides a genuine period aesthetic that mass-produced alternatives fail to match. By using this handle, you ensure that your restoration or character build retains an honest look, as the shape faithfully replicates ironmongery found in traditional dwellings throughout the history of British residential architecture and fine joinery practice.
Unique Beeswax Finish
The natural beeswax dipping process creates a finish that evolves with time and usage. Unlike artificial sprays, the wax reacts to the metal to highlight the forged colours, which gives your windows a depth of character that looks better as the years pass while remaining easy to maintain with periodic re-waxing.
Superior Hand Forged Strength
Mild steel is chosen for this fastener because of its incredible durability and resistance to impact. Forging ensures the metal grain follows the shape of the monkeytail handle, which gives it a structural integrity that cast equivalents cannot replicate, so you get a fastener that handles heavy daily use without bending or breaking.
Engineering Quality and Daily Performance
Experience the balance of heavy-duty steel construction and refined operational movement during every single window adjustment.
Mechanical Precision and Force
The internal mechanism operates through a reliable lever system that pulls the casement frame tight against the window seal. This action is essential for preventing draughts because it ensures a consistent compression along the perimeter of the timber frame, so that your home remains comfortable throughout the changing seasonal temperatures found in the United Kingdom.
A grub screw provides a locking feature that keeps the fastener secure, which means you have the ability to prevent accidental opening. This is particularly helpful for families who want to ensure windows stay fixed in a closed position while maintaining the sleek look of the traditional monkeytail design without relying on bulky or unsightly locking bolts.
Durability of the Beeswax Finish
Beeswax serves as a protective barrier that seals the mild steel away from moisture while highlighting the raw beauty of the forged metalwork. This finish is perfect for dry internal rooms, where it offers a long-term protective shield that prevents the formation of oxidation while preserving the deep, earthy colours that make each piece of ironmongery truly individual.
You should consider that high-moisture environments like bathrooms might require additional attention to ensure the steel remains in pristine condition. By applying the recommended maintenance wax, you create a refreshed seal that keeps the metal protected, which stops white blooms from developing and keeps the deep, matt sheen looking rich for many decades to come.
Installation and Operational Workflow
Follow these steps to fit your new window hardware correctly for a professional finish and smooth daily operation.
1
Identify Your Handing
Determine the correct fastener by looking at your window from the interior of the room. A right-hand fastener is necessary when your window is hinged on the right side, so please double check your window layout before beginning the installation process to prevent any issues with the fitting orientation.
2
Position the Plates
Mark the pilot holes for the main fastener plate on the window sash while ensuring the handle clears any existing frame obstructions. You can then attach the mortice or hook plate onto the window frame, which serves as the landing point for the handle to lock the window firmly into a closed position.
3
Fix and Secure
Use the provided matching wood screws to fasten all components into the timber, ensuring you do not overtighten the screws. Once fixed, test the operation by rotating the handle to ensure it seats perfectly into the hook plate, which confirms the fastener is correctly aligned for long-term daily use.
Expert Installation and Care Tip
When you first open your package, you might notice a light white bloom on the surface, which is a natural reaction of the wax to temperature changes during transit. You can buff this away easily with a soft, dry cloth to reveal the beautiful finish beneath, and repeating this buffing process occasionally keeps the wax layer vibrant and fully protective.

Compatibility and Fitting Notes
For high moisture areas such as kitchens or bathrooms, we suggest using our specialised external beeswax finish, which provides enhanced resistance to damp conditions.
