I have to replace 7 windows' worth of of Malta screen latches. the old ones held up for maybe 20 years.
How durable are the 70-048s and are they malleable enough or is just personal preference? (Do they work or not? :) )
I don't want to replace them only to find out I'll have to do it again in 10 years. Which means I'm also looking at the 70-204. Seems like a bit more of a permanent solution. However, there's not much room on the Malta jambs for the ball screw. Any specific instructions on installing them? Also do they include screws for attaching to the screen?
Thanks!
Bill

Hey, Bill. If your screen originally used the 70-048, we usually recommend sticking with that. It may be possible to install the 70-204 but if the screen wasn't made for it then there's no telling how well they'll hold up. As for the 70-048, they are fairly flexible at the "neck." See the video below, you should get a good idea of how flexible they are here. |
