Product Information

Full details

The Timco Wedge Pattern Casement Fastener is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators seeking a reliable, low-profile method for securing traditional wooden windows. Its primary benefit lies in its robust locking mechanism that eliminates rattling and improves draught-proofing, though users should note it is designed specifically for timber frames and lacks the modern multi-point locking features found on newer uPVC window systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fastener suitable for uPVC windows?

No, this fastener is designed specifically for traditional wooden casement windows.

Can I install this on a left-handed window?

Yes, the product features a reversible design, making it suitable for both left and right-handed applications.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will generally need a screwdriver, a measuring tape, and a drill for creating pilot holes in the timber.

Does the package include screws?

Yes, the product is supplied as a complete kit with all necessary fixings included.

Will this help with draughts?

Yes, by pulling the sash tightly against the frame, it helps compress seals and reduce cold air ingress.

Troubleshooting

Handle does not engage with the wedge plate

Adjust the position of the wedge plate on the frame until the handle catches properly during rotation.

The window still rattles after fastening

Check that the wedge plate is tightened securely and consider adding a secondary weather seal strip to the frame.

Fastener feels loose on the timber frame

Ensure the pilot holes were not drilled too large; use appropriate wood fillers if the screw holes have stripped.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and intuitive operation
  • Suitable for both left and right-handed windows
  • Reduces window rattling and draughts
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware
  • Modern silver finish

Cons

  • Not suitable for uPVC or metal windows
  • Manual locking mechanism lacks advanced security features
  • Requires precise alignment during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward but requires careful measurement. Ensure the wedge plate is aligned so that the handle engages firmly without over-tightening, which could cause stress on the timber.

Compatibility: This product is exclusively designed for wooden casement windows. It is not suitable for windows with integrated locking mechanisms or those made from composite, aluminium, or uPVC materials.

Care: To maintain the silver finish, wipe periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the coating. If the mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small drop of light machine oil on the pivot point can restore smooth operation.
