Certainteed vent latches.

I have Certainteed windows that were installed about 14 years ago and a few are in need of vent latch replacements. The existing vent latches are 3" long top to bottom. Your 26-148 latches looked like they were the ticket until I noted that they are only 2-1/2" long top to bottom. The slots in the window frame are 2-3/4" long so the 26-148 would not even cover the hole properly. Any suggestions?

Can you send us some photos of the vent latches that you have? This will help us determine the best replacement option for you. Thanks!

I wonder if my windows are the same generation (being from CT too, could help). Here's a picture of the vent latches that were basically all trashed or broken when I bought the house two years ago.

Dimensions are 2 7/8" long for the entire unit to fit into the window slot. Any thoughts?

I actually recognize this latch! We don't have it in stock, but I believe we can special order it for you. Can you just confirm how many you need? In the meantime, we will look into this latch's availability.
