Hello,
I love my old wood double-hung windows c. 1939...and all have (later) aluminum storms and screens from c. 1950 or so I'm guessing.. typically, these double storms slide so both storms store in the upper window sash allowing screens to be inserted in the lower sash.
Sadly the screens and storms have plastic "pins" .. spring loaded tabs at the base, but just stationary little plastic "pins" that hold the storm window in the aluminum channel. Some of these pins have snapped off and I wonder if replacements are available?
Out of curiosity do you think metal replacements are available that I could swap on my storms and screens?
Please let me know if I may provide any added photos, details or dimensions.
Thank-you,
Douglas

Hello,
We'd be happy to look into this for you but we would need to see your top tilt corner fully removed from the frame to compare to our inventory. In the meantime, feel free to look through our selection here. The dimensions of the corner legs, including the width and thickness, are also important to narrow down your options. Thank you!

Thank-you Casey... I was nervous to remove the top tilt corner, but understand it's necessary.
I will give that a go and be in touch with more photos and dimensions. Much appreciate your reply.
