Buying Guide
How to Choose a Casement Fastener
Choosing a casement fastener comes down to three things: locking or not, the hand, and the finish.
1. Locking or non-locking: most From The Anvil casement fasteners are locking window handles that lock by way of a grub screw. A night-vent fastener also locks slightly open for ventilation. For a cottage window that does not need a lock, choose one of the non-locking casement fasteners.
2. The hand: stand inside the room looking out. A window hinged on the right needs a right hand fastener, and one hinged on the left a left hand fastener. Or choose from the universal hand casement fasteners, which fit either side.
3. The finish: match the stays and the rest of the window, from brass casement fasteners for period homes to black casement fasteners for cottage windows. Compare every finish in the From The Anvil finish guide.
Finishing Touches
Fasteners, Stays and Steel Windows
Fastener and stay: a casement window usually needs a fastener to hold it shut and a stay to hold it open. Choose casement stays in the same design and finish, and add a locking stay pin from the window stay pins for extra security.
Steel windows: for Crittall style steel windows, choose the steel window fasteners, which have an offset backplate, with the matching steel window stays.

From The Anvil Casement Fastener FAQs
Is a casement fastener the same as a cockspur handle?
Is a casement fastener the same as a cockspur handle?
Yes. A casement fastener, also called a cockspur handle or casement window latch, is the handle on the opening casement that turns to hold the window shut against the frame.
Locking or non-locking?
Locking or non-locking?
Most From The Anvil casement fasteners lock by way of a grub screw, and the night-vent versions also lock slightly open. The non-locking Monkeytail, Peardrop, Shepherd's Crook, Rosehead and Shropshire fasteners hold the window shut without a lock.
Do I need a left hand, right hand or universal hand fastener?
Do I need a left hand, right hand or universal hand fastener?
Stand inside the room looking out. If the window is hinged on the right, a handed fastener must be right hand, and if it is hinged on the left, left hand. Universal hand, or reversible, fasteners such as the Avon, Newbury, Reeded and Hinton fit either side.
Will these fit steel or Crittall style windows?
Will these fit steel or Crittall style windows?
