Latch for storm window

Home Owner from Philadelphia, PA
Below is a picture of the latch from my storm windows. It measures 2.75 " long, and the channel for the latch is 5/8" wide. I need 4 latches, 2 right hand and 2 left hand. These storm windows are 34 years old, but in excellent condition.

If it would help, I will gladly bring the window to your establishment so that you can more easily identify the correct replacement piece. Thank you.

Hey, Brenda. I'm afraid we don't have a walk-in store you can come to. I'm also not sure what this is. I've never seen your style of latch before. You may be able to use one of ours as a replacement, but it will come down to your specific dimensions. 

I recommend looking through our entire selection here. You will need more dimensions to find the best option, such as the thickness and the size of the tooth. I cannot guarantee anything we have can work, but there's a chance you could use something we carry as a substitute.

Hi Tom,

Was wondering if you have had any success in matching hardware for my storm windows?

Hello Tom,

Thank you so much. I have placed my order for 2 sets of latches and associated springs. I will do my best to remember to send a picture after the latches have been installed in my storms. You all certainly understand what it means to provide excellent customer service. On a scale of 1 - 5, I give you a 5+.
