ERA Everywhere Market Share Analysis for November 2025

The Monkey Tail key locking handle is an elegant design inspired by 19th-century ironmongery and is ideally suited for heritage windows for a classic finish. The distinct antique inspired look has been engineered to modern standards and strength tested to the equivalent of a modern espagnolette window handle. Easy to operate the handle is handed to suit any window application. The handle incorporates a positive stop feature, that is ideal for new flush window styles. The handle locks automatically on closing for added peace of mind and can be locked in position with a key for high security. The specially formulated finish is hard wearing and significantly tougher than traditional wrought iron furniture. Fully suited Monkey Tail Operating and Dummy Stays are also available to create your perfectly matching heritage window. Suitable for Timber and PVCu casement windows, the Monkey Tail is available in 30mm, 40mm, 45mm or 55mm spindle lengths and in a range of finishes as part of the Perfectly Matching Home range that includes Hardex Chrome, Hardex Gold, Hardex Graphite, Hardex Pewter (coming soon) and Antique Black. Hardware may be the last thing fitted, but it's where the eye falls, the part we most frequently touch and operate, and the aspect by which we judge overall quality. Hardex Electro finishes are amongst the more resilient and attractive in the world today and are perfectly matching not only in colour but in form as well - we focus on even the smallest details to ensure your home has a full suite of hardware. All finishes meet the requirements of BS EN 1670 Grade 5 (480 hours) for Corrosion Resistance to provide the most robust finish for your hardware, and to ensure smooth and consistent performance over time the handle is endurance tested in our test house to excess of 25,000 cycles.
