I need safety clips for Series 2800 Patriot windows (now Ply-Gem Windows). I contacted my old Patriot telephone number & they referred me to you.
The plastic clips I have keep breaking.
I need help.
Thank you,
Hal

Hal, take a look at the Swisco 70-123 Patriot Screen Clip. How do they match up to your original?

The clip shown is too wide - I need 5/16" wide x 1-3/16" long. It's a safety or security clip set in a groove on both sides of the upper window that when pulled out stops the lower window from opening more than about 4".

Can you upload a few photos so we can take a look?

Paul,
There is a slit in the sash on each side of the upper window. The size of the slit is 5/32" by 1-1/8". My odd shaped security clip fits into this slit. Would any of your clips fit into this slit?

Were you able to take any photos of your clip? This will be the best way to identify a proper replacement.

Although your clip was discontinued some years ago, it has been confirmed that the Swisco 26-106 Vent Lock and 26-338 Sash Stop all work in the same window cut out as the 26-104 (your discontinued latch).
