This Black Iron Rat Tail Casement Fastener is based on a traditional design, which can also be called Monkey Tail. This fastener benefits from discreet grub screw locking for additional safety and security, and is also suitable to use with Weather Seal windows.
The delicate detailing on this fastener works particularly well with Country House or Cottage style properties. The casement fastener is supplied with both a Hook Plate and a Mortice Plate.
Made from iron and then sheradized, primed and painted with a flat black paint to create a durable barrier, which protects the iron to prolong the life of the item.
Normal use of these products will eventually remove the paint, but protection is still provided by the sheradizing, which will restrict the onset of rust.
We recommend the product is wiped periodically with a lightly oiled cloth. Oils such as 3in1 or WD40 are suited for this purpose. Chipped Paint - we would suggest the product is touched up using Hammerite or similar black paint.
Matching Casement Stays are also available.
Supplied with matching fixings and grub screw key. The screws supplied are hand finished, so please take care when fixing. Always use a pilot drill.
