I have several plastic snap in latches that need to be replaced. They are 2 3/8 X 3/8. I cannot source these locally albeit True Value does have this & it is very close, but the retracting\spring loaded guide pin that goes into the track of the window does not have a flat surface. It has a groove in it & I cannot get it to set in the track. Anyways see the PICS of the original latch & let me know if you have them on stock.

This tilt latch is very similar in style to our 26-393. The dimensions you gave seem to match, too. Look it over and let me know what you think!

Yes minus one exception in that the guide pin on your product has a bump on the end increasing the width of the guide pin & it will not fit in my window track. I have this same product essentially from True Value & it does not fit!

Thanks,

It looks to me like you have the original top tilt latches from the Silverline or American Craftsman 1200 Series window. The 26-393B might be better for this window. The nose is narrower than the 26-393. Please compare.
