Replacement for broken guide catches

Most of my windows have at least one of these broken. The balances are 1/2" by 30". I'm going to need maybe 20 of these. Might as well replace them all if they are broken/breaking.

Thanks for posting. These are called Top Sash Guides. See our 18-009 or 18-166 to start. Both look a lot like yours, but review the dimensions below and let me know if one of these matches, or if both differ, and if so, how.

Thanks Bob. It looks like 18-166 should work. The measurements are just about exactly the same and close enough that it should work.
