• Reversible Design: Engineered for versatility, this fastener can be used on either left or right-handed windows.

Installation Hints & Pro-Tips

• Avoid Over-Tightening: When installing the matching black screws, use a hand screwdriver rather than an impact driver to avoid stripping the screw heads or damaging the powder finish.

• Gap Alignment: Ensure the snib plate is perfectly aligned with the fastener arm to ensure the locking mechanism engages smoothly without friction.

• Maintenance: Periodically wipe the fastener with a lightly oiled cloth (such as 3-in-1 oil) to maintain its deep black luster and protect against surface moisture.
