The Kenrick Sash Fastener Fitch Pattern Number 1 is a functional hardware solution for securing timber sliding sash windows. Utilising a classic fitch-style rotating cam, the fastener bridges the gap between the top and bottom sashes. When the lever is engaged, the cam pulls the meeting rails tightly together, which significantly improves the weather-sealing performance of the window by reducing draughts.

This fastener is typically installed on the meeting rails of double-hung windows. It is suitable for both restoration projects where original period features are being maintained and for modern timber window manufacturing. The mechanical action ensures that even if the sashes have a slight gap, the fastener can draw them into alignment for a secure closure.

  • Compatibility: Designed for standard timber sliding sash systems.
  • Application: Used to secure windows and improve thermal efficiency.
  • Installation: Screw-fix design for surface mounting on meeting rails.
