Brighton Fastener - Satin Chrome

Brighton Heavy Duty Fastener – Engineered for Larger Sash Windows

The Brighton Fastener is a robust, precision-engineered fastening solution designed specifically for larger double-hung sash windows. Unlike conventional sash latches, this fastener utilizes a screw-tightening mechanism that firmly clamps the meeting rails together, providing superior structural integrity and significantly enhanced draught sealing performance.

Widely regarded in the window restoration industry and highly rated by customers, the Brighton Fastener’s reputation for reliability and durability speaks volumes. Its design ensures minimal lateral movement and maximises the window’s weatherproofing capabilities.

Technical Specifications & Features:

Operation: Screw-tightening action that pulls the meeting rails tightly together, eliminating gaps that cause air infiltration and rattling.

Material: Manufactured from solid brass, offering exceptional mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and a premium finish that complements traditional sash hardware.

Compatibility: Engineered for use with single-glazed sash windows, particularly larger or heavier windows requiring a secure locking mechanism.

Locking Mechanism: Includes a secure lock and key system to enhance window security, along with brass screws designed to resist galvanic corrosion when installed with brass hardware.

Finish Coordination: Matches perfectly with our range of traditional sash window hardware, including sash lifts and pulleys, for a cohesive restoration finish.

Installation Instructions:

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any debris.

Place the fastener on the top face of the meeting rail on the top sash, clear of the glass, and mark the holes for drilling.

Drill two pilot holes, clean off any sawdust, then screw the keep into the timber.

Place the keep on the top face of the bottom meeting rail and align it with the fastener. Test the fastener to ensure it works properly. Mark the holes for drilling.

Drill pilot holes using a small diameter drill bit and clean off the sawdust.

Place the fastener on the timber and screw it into the sash through the pilot holes.

Important Tips:

The screws supplied with our products are made of brass, a soft metal. Always drill pilot holes before hand-screwing into the wood.

Do not use a power drill or screwdriver, as this may damage the screws or their coating.

For easier installation, rub the screw shafts with beeswax before fixing.

Always use the brass screws provided to prevent corrosion caused by mixing different metals like brass and steel, which could damage the screws and spread corrosion to the fastener.
