Identifying what pins I need

Home Owner from South Carolina

I purchased a fixer upper condo that was originally built in about 1972. The screens are original and the pins are so old they were dry rotten. They were completely plastic. I am trying to rescreen the screens as the frames are good but need to replace the pins as well. How can I properly identify which pin is the correct replacement? Please help and thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you have. Are you able to send a photo of the pin? If not, compare yours to our 70-195 and see if it's a match.

Not able to send pics because all the suckers broke off in the screens...can I order one just to see if it matches?

Yes! We have no minimum purchase quantity, so you can order just one and try it out. You may also want to consider checking other windows in the house, in case they use the same hardware.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Just as luck would have it, all of the plungers in every single window in the house is broken in the screen. I am going to try and upload a picture tomorrow when the light is good and maybe we can solve this mystery!
