Troubleshooting
Fastener is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure screws are not overtightened. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the moving parts.
Screws do not align with existing holes
The fastener may not be compatible with your specific window. Ensure you have measured the 49mm fixing centres correctly. You may need to drill new holes or use a different fastener model.
Fastener does not lock securely
Verify that the strike plate (if applicable) on the sash is correctly positioned to engage with the fastener. Ensure the fastener itself is correctly aligned and installed.
Surface appears tarnished or discolored
This is natural for polished brass over time. Clean with a soft cloth and use a brass polish if desired, following product instructions. Regular dusting can help maintain its appearance.
