Ask the experts, that's you.
The OE part measures:
I can't find any available latch that matches. Any suggestions on which part number to consider?
Thanks,
Ken

Hey, Ken. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with an OE brand. Would it be possible to see more photos of your tilt latch from other angles? Your current photo only shows the side, but I'd also like to see the top and underside as well, if possible. You also show a pivot shoe. Did you need that, too? If so, can you please tell me its width and thickness? |

Thanks for clarifying, and for these new photos. They're a huge help. I think our 26-393 is the best option in our inventory based on what I see here. This has the same width and thickness that you stated, though our length is a little off. You may want to triple check that just to be sure. Otherwise I feel very confident that this is what you want. Dimensions for 26-393

Sounds like you mean a surface-mount latch. I'm afraid there's no easy way to install those on this kind of window precisely because of that open space you described. You would have to find some way to plug that up to allow for a screw; I don't know how any surface-mount tilt latch whose front hole wouldn't overlap with that open space. I guess theoretically you could use a longer screw, but I personally would advise against that. That deep in the sash frame, you risk potentially hitting the glass with any holes you drill. I don't think it's worth trying. |
