Product Information

Full details

The From The Anvil Avon Locking Night Vent Window Fastener is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a blend of authentic craftsmanship and modern security for their casement windows. This hand-forged steel fastener offers the unique benefit of a locking night-vent function, allowing for controlled ventilation while maintaining security, though it requires regular maintenance due to its traditional Beeswax finish which is susceptible to moisture in high-humidity areas.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on both left and right opening windows?

Yes, the product is reversible and includes two different keep plates to accommodate both handing styles.

Is this fastener suitable for exterior-facing windows?

While it can be used on exterior windows, the Beeswax finish requires regular maintenance to protect the steel from moisture and environmental elements.

What is the primary material of this product?

The product is constructed from solid steel, hand-forged using traditional techniques.

Does it lock with a key?

No, this model uses a manual grub screw mechanism to secure the fastener in place.

Will it work with windows that have weather seals?

Yes, it is specifically designed to be compatible with weather-stripped casement windows.

How do I maintain the blue/ochre tone?

The authentic color is a natural result of the forging and waxing process; regular applications of beeswax will maintain the depth and finish.

Troubleshooting

The fastener feels stiff or difficult to latch.

Check that the keep plates are correctly aligned and not obstructed by paint buildup; apply a small amount of beeswax to the contact points.

The finish is showing signs of light surface rust.

Gently remove the rust with a soft cloth or fine wire wool and re-apply a layer of beeswax to reseal the metal surface.

The grub screw is loose.

Use a compatible Allen key to tighten the grub screw, ensuring the handle is properly seated against the keep plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic hand-forged appearance
  • Versatile reversible mounting options
  • Enhanced security with locking ventilation
  • Includes all necessary matching wood screws
  • Durable steel construction

Cons

  • Requires regular waxing to maintain the finish
  • Not suitable for high-moisture outdoor environments without upkeep
  • Beeswax finish is more delicate than powder coating
  • Manual grub screw operation is less convenient than key-locking systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward using the supplied wood screws. Ensure you align the fixing plate (64mm x 16mm) correctly to ensure the handle sits flush against the window frame. For compatibility, verify your window frame can accommodate the 27mm keep projection. Maintenance is critical for the Beeswax finish; it is recommended to wipe the fastener periodically with a soft cloth and apply a light coat of high-quality beeswax to preserve the metal and prevent oxidation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these will strip the protective wax layer.
