The ironmongery on a sash window — the locks, lifts, fasteners and pulley wheels — is both functional and aesthetic. Original Victorian and Georgian ironmongery adds character to a period window; modern replacements rarely do. At Hartwell Sash, we replace worn or broken ironmongery with period-appropriate fittings that match the age and style of the property.
🔑 Types of Sash Window Ironmongery
Each component plays a specific role — both functional and visual. Understanding which fittings are appropriate for your property is part of what we assess during the survey.
- Sash lock / fitch fastener — secures upper and lower sashes together
- Sash lift — the handle used to raise the lower sash
- Pulley wheels — the brass or steel wheels the cord runs over
- Meeting rail furniture — decorative elements on the central meeting rail
- Sash stops — prevent the sash from opening beyond a safe limit
🔧 When to Replace Ironmongery
We recommend replacing ironmongery when it is broken, corroded beyond repair, or when it is preventing the window from sealing and locking correctly. A worn lock that does not pull the sashes together tightly contributes significantly to draughts.
- Lock does not close tightly — replace for better draught seal
- Pulley wheels worn or jammed — replace when doing cord work
- Sash lifts broken or missing — straightforward replacement
- Period-appropriate fittings available in brass, chrome and painted finishes
- All ironmongery replaced as standard when fitting new sashes
