Hand-Forged Monkey Tail Window Fastener in Beeswax Finish

This hand-forged monkey tail window fastener set provides a traditional and decorative way to secure wooden windows and shutters. The distinctive curved “monkey tail” handle reflects classic blacksmith craftsmanship and allows the fastener to be turned easily into position, holding the window firmly closed while adding character to the hardware. The fastener can be installed for either left-hand or right-hand use, allowing it to be fitted correctly depending on the direction in which the window or shutters close. This flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of traditional window styles. Finished in a natural beeswax coating, the fastener highlights the texture and character of the forged metal while complementing timber frames and rustic interiors. The warm tone pairs particularly well with wooden casement windows and traditional shutters. The set includes two monkey tail handles and matching keep plates and screws, allowing shutters or window panels to be secured neatly in the closed position. The mechanism is simple, reliable and easy to operate while maintaining an authentic traditional appearance. Due to the nature of the beeswax finish, this fastener is recommended for indoor use, where the finish can be maintained and preserved over time. The components are designed for surface mounting and can be installed easily using the fixing holes provided on the plates.

The beeswax finish can be maintained by occasionally wiping with a dry cloth and reapplying a small amount of wax if required.
