Hardware
What is window hardware?
Window hardware is things like handles, fasteners and locks. Any ironmongery that is used to operate the window is known as either hardware or furniture. Certain types of products require certain types of furniture, but with so many different manufacturers these days there’s plenty of choice. With sash windows, they are plenty of options available for the discerning customer.
I’ve found some hardware that I really like. Can we use it on my windows?
Hopefully! We’ll definitely see if it will work. Occasionally, for example, the hardware might just be too big or too small to actually fit on the frames. We’ll do what we can to find a solution, and if we can’t make it work we’ll offer you an alternative as close to it as possible.
What kind of furniture can I get for my sash windows?
Sash windows require specific furniture to function, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to choose from the list below. If you’ve found something you like that doesn’t appear on this list just let us know and we’ll see if we can make it work.
| Sash Lifts Your sash lifts will be fixed to the bottom sash and will be your primary means of operating your new sash windows. |  |
| Restrictor Lock Restrictors or sash stops are designed to stop your sash windows opening beyond a certain height. They cannot be removed without using the provided key. |  |
| Hook Fastener A sash fastener is essential to keep your sashes pressed closely together, which engages the draught proofing properly. |  |
| Fitch Fastener A fitch fastener works in much the same way as a hook fastener, but we use it on our full boxes because those sashes are slightly heavier. |  |
| Pulley Wheels (Round) Pulley wheels are what allow the sashes to move up and down in their openings. They're attached to the lead weights by a white cotton sash cord. |  |
| Pulley Wheels (Square) As above, these pulley wheels are designed to support a cotton sash cord attached to a lead weight. |  |
What kind of furniture can I get for my casements?
Casements are versatile and they can accept almost any handle you might like. If what you want doesn’t appear in this list, just let us know and we’ll see if we can make it work on your windows.

Espagnolette Bolt
With a long bolt that extends from one side of the door to the other, espagnolettes are a good way to secure your slim profile door.
Door Knob
The least visually intrusive option. We'll use star bolts (below) to actually secure the door.
