External Til Latch Recommendation

Question

I am asking for a recommendation for external tilt latches. My window is ~ 1.5 inch thick (pictured here).

Previously ordered 26-132P - Internal Tilt Latch Pair and the hole for the 26-234 - Tilt Latch Actuator didnt align with the hole in my window frame.

Hello there. For converting to surface-mount tilt latches, we almost always recommend either our 26-228 and 26-229, or the 26-193 and 26-194. Now the 26-228 and 26-229 are 1-3/8" wide, so you'd have room for them, though it's a bit tight--so you might be just as well going with the other pair instead. In either case, the video below shows how to do the conversion process. Check it out and let me know if you have any other questions.
