Full details

This guide is for homeowners and builders looking for durable, period-accurate window hardware. The From the Anvil Newbury Locking Window Fastener in Aged Bronze offers a weighty, hand-forged solid bronze construction with a timeless, slender design, providing both aesthetic appeal and robust security. A potential consideration is that the aged bronze finish, while beautiful, is very dark and matt, which may not suit all interior styles.

FAQs

What material is the Newbury Locking Window Fastener made from?

It is hand-forged from solid bronze, containing a minimum of 85% copper.

What is the finish on this window fastener?

The finish is Aged Bronze, which is a very dark, rich, matt appearance achieved through a specific aging process and protected by a durable matt lacquer.

Is this fastener suitable for any type of window?

It is designed specifically for casement windows and is suitable for use with weather-stripped windows.

What is included with the fastener for installation?

It includes mortice and hook plates for different fitting options, and is supplied with matching SS wood screws.

How do I lock the window with this fastener?

The locking mechanism operates by way of a grub screw, which you tighten to secure the window.

Can I use this fastener if my window has a weather seal?

Yes, it is designed to be suitable for use with weather-stripped windows.

How should I clean and maintain the Aged Bronze finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes to preserve the matt lacquer and distinctive tones.

Troubleshooting

Fastener is stiff to operate

Ensure the locking mechanism (grub screw) is not overtightened. Check for any debris obstructing the moving parts and clean if necessary. Verify that the mortice or hook plate is correctly aligned.

Window does not lock securely

Check that the grub screw is fully tightened. Ensure the window frame and sash are not warped or misaligned, which could prevent proper engagement.

Finish appears to be fading or changing

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. The aged bronze finish has a protective lacquer; ensure this hasn't been compromised by abrasive cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Newbury Locking Window Fastener is designed for casement windows. Installation typically involves fitting the included mortice or hook plate to the window frame and the main body of the fastener to the window sash. The reversible design allows for flexibility in how the fastener is oriented. The locking mechanism operates via a grub screw, which needs to be tightened to secure the window. Ensure you use the supplied matching SS wood screws for secure mounting.

Compatibility: This fastener is compatible with standard casement windows and is specifically designed to work with weather-stripped windows. It is intended to match other products within the From the Anvil Newbury range.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the Aged Bronze finish, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the protective lacquer and alter the finish. The durable matt lacquer applied during manufacturing helps preserve the distinctive tones.
