Good evening,

I have a recycled American Craftsman double hung window that is missing the tilt latches on the bottom window. I have attached a photo of one of the latches that still on the upper window.

May i ask what would be the replacement part for these?

Thank you.

Hello,

For American Craftsman 8500 Series window, the top tilt latch for the lower sash should be our 26-408 pair. The tilt latch you are showing is used for the upper sash.

To be positive, we would need to see another picture of the tilt latch removed from the sash. Thank you!

I also have the American Craftsman 8500 series windows and this part worked perfectly. Super easy to install.

Had an unknown model window that needed new latches. Had an elongated "D" shaped opening. The 26-408 pair fit perfectly. GREAT service once again from SWISCO. Thanks.
