Need 5 "spring loaded" tilt latches as seen in photos.
Windows say "Mastic" and are vinyl.
2" between screw centers.
3/4" between screw center and lateral edge of latch.
Thanks.

Greetings from SWISCO! Originally Mastic used an internal latch then switched over to our 26-228 and 26-229 top tilt latches. You'll have to double check your screw hole distance, but look them over and let us know what you think.

Hi, I re-measured my original tilt latch and it does measure 2" (screw center); I received item 26-229 and it is just a little long, as can be seen from the pics, the screw holes do not line up. Are the 2" versions no longer available as far as you know? Thanks for any suggestions.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that didn't work. That's SO close, though. I wonder if the manufacturer might have reworked the mold. That might be why the holes don't line up exactly, despite being so close.

One thought comes to mind: if the outer housing on your original latches are in good condition, you could install the inner "tooth" mechanism inside the new housing. Would that work?
