Frequently Asked Questions
Is the W227 Series 25 fastener lockable?
No. The W227 configuration is the non-locking version of the Whitco Series 25 window fastener. Lockable versions are available within the same Series 25 range using wafer cylinders.
What window types can this fastener be used on?
Whitco Series 25 fasteners are commonly installed on sliding, awning, casement and double hung windows in both aluminium and timber frames.
How do I choose left hand or right hand?
Handing is determined by the direction the window closes and the side of the frame where the fastener is mounted. Left-hand and right-hand versions are available within the Series 25 range.
Can this fastener be keyed alike later?
The non-locking W227 cannot be keyed because it does not include a cylinder. Lockable Series 25 variants using 5 disc wafer cylinders can be keyed alike with other Whitco products.
