Any chance this part can be replaced on this builder installed Kohltec double hung window? It is what stops the window from falling down when it is opened from the bottom. Thank you for your help - Denise, Scarborough, Maine

Hello! This part is called a tilt latch. Specifically, this the thumb lever for an internal tilt latch, the main mechanism of which is built inside the sash frame itself.

Your thumb lever in particular is not a design that we have. One of the two prongs on the bottom has snapped off, so I'm not 100% sure what kind of design you're working with there, but they look like they were far apart. With that in mind you can consider our 26-154 to start out. Look this part over and let me know what you think.

Yes Tom - that looks exactly what it is and the dimensions are the same.

Any chance I could get a few of these? Thanks much, Denise
