Mastic windows

Question

The thumb latches and tabs that hold the top of the lower tilt-in sash in the track when it is raised are broken.  This allows the window to fall in when it is raised.  Can these latches and tabs be replaced?

Hello,

I'm afraid we don't have an exact match for this latch. To be honest, you may be better off substituting with a surface mount tilt latch. These are different than the others in that they just screw on. We have a video tutorial that shows how we do this. We find it to be an easier solution for sashes like yours. Let me know what you think!
