The Beeswax Monkey Tail Levers on Backplates have a very distinctive monkey tail handle that is drawn from a single piece of steel. A traditional design, with exquisite detailing, particularly suited to rustic or country style houses.
Lock Handle - for use with traditional mortice sashlocks
Latch Handle - for use with a latch on an internal door, where no key is required.
Privacy Handle - this has a built in Bathroom Turn and Emergency Release and is used in conjunction with a Bathroom Sashlock, or Tubular Latch and Tubular Deadbolt.
These lever handles are unsprung and so we recommend using a Heavy Duty or Heavy Sprung lock or latch. Will fit all standard British locks and all of our Monkey Tail handles come complete with both traditional screws and bolt through fixings to suit your preference.
Beeswax – is the most authentic finish for steel. After forging, these products are dipped into hot beeswax which allows them to retain their original colours ranging from blue to deep ochre. All our Beeswax ironmongery offers a subtle matt richness and is a more natural, and far softer, alternative to a black powder coated finish. These products offer excellent internal protection when properly maintained. Regular oiling of all moving parts using is beneficial to the longevity of products. This process is also highly recommended during initial installation.
Note - Do not use chemicals or cleaning products as this may affect the finish. To ensure the finish on your beeswax product always remains at its best, we would advise re-coating your product with a good quality natural beeswax from time to time. This adds further protection to the metal and helps to prevent any rust or white blooms forming. Due to temperature changes or packaging, a beeswax product may occasionally show signs of a white bloom upon opening. This can be buffed with a soft cloth to remove.
Sold as a set and supplied with fixings.The screws supplied are hand finished, so please take care when fixing. Always use a pilot drill.
