Do you have a compatible replacement window tilt latch like the one shown in the pictures? I wasn't readily seeing any on the website, but I decided to double check.

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to say that we would not be able to supply you with a replacement for your existing window latch. However, we may have a solution that could potentially work for you.

You may be able to convert the sash to one that uses surface mounted latches. In the tutorial below, we suggest using the 26-228 and 26-229 but you would need to confirm that these latches can fit the space on top of the sash and have the space to be installed. We also have a few others made in different sizes.

Take a look at the video to see if this is a solution that could work for you.

Thanks for the assistance. I measured the windows, and it looks like I would not be able to fasten the one end because the screw hole would be above the opening from the previous internal latch. Do you have any longer versions of this same style of latch?

We're happy to help! The tilt latch with the longest, center-to-center, installation spacing is the Rollyson tilt latches we carry, parts 26-193 and 26-194. Take a look and see if this is something that could potentially work as a replacement.

If latch will not work, I'm afraid we do not have a solution that will work for you. Take a look and see what you think!
