Slide latches ... slide bolts ... finger latches for older metal storm windows

Question

Hi, Hope you can help identify replacements for the latches that fit like these to hold heavy metal or aluminum storm windows raised or latched closed. They appear to be plastic or nylon, roughly 3-1/2" long. The ones pictured are somewhat newer replacements installed by previous owner. I am having trouble finding any product pictures that look quite like these.
Thank you!

I'm afraid that we don't have an exact match for these latches, either. Storm windows are dying off since most homeowners are opting for vinyl windows these days. As a result, replacement parts like this are getting harder and harder to come by, even somewhat newer parts like this.

We do sell a bunch of different types, which you can see here. One may, indeed, work for you as a substitute. However you will need to remove the original to compare dimensions and design. Even then, I can't be sure anything we have will work.
