Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between lockable and non-lockable Series 25 fasteners?
Lockable models include a wafer cylinder allowing the window to be locked with a key. Non-lockable models operate as a mechanical fastener only and do not provide keyed security.
What type of cylinder does the lockable Series 25 fastener use?
Lockable versions use a Whitco 5 disc wafer cylinder. These cylinders can be keyed alike across multiple window locks if required.
Can Series 25 fasteners be used on aluminium and timber windows?
Yes. Series 25 fasteners are commonly installed on aluminium sliding windows as well as timber window frames. Strike selection should match the window frame profile.
How do I determine left-hand or right-hand fasteners?
Handing depends on the direction the window closes and the mounting side of the fastener. Left and right versions mirror the lever orientation to ensure correct closing engagement.
Is the Series 25 fastener a primary security device?
Window fasteners primarily secure the sash closed. Additional security devices such as window locks, restrictors or bolts may be used where higher security or child safety requirements exist.
Additional Information
- The Whitco Series 25 design integrates the window pull handle and fastening mechanism into a single compact unit.
- Zinc diecast construction provides durability and resistance to wear in residential window applications.
- Whitco window fasteners are widely used across Australian aluminium window systems due to their compatibility with common frame extrusions.
- The 5 disc wafer cylinder system used in lockable versions allows multiple window locks to be keyed alike for convenient key management.
- Strike selection is important to ensure proper alignment between the fastener and window frame. Nylon strikes can reduce wear and provide smoother engagement.
