I need to repair a Ply Gem "Pro Classic" series window and am trying to find the correct tilt latch for it. It appears that the Truth Tilt Latch 26-442 is the correct one, but I'd like to be sure. The existing latch measures 2 5/8 long, 11/16 wide and the bottom is 9/16.
I'm also replacing the channel balance and shoe. The existing channel is 9/16" wide and stamped with 32F. From a previous post I saw that the 795 series is what I need, and swap the 15-194 shoe to fit my window channel.
Is this correct?
Thank you
Ray

I don't think that's our 26-442. I'd like you to remove your latch from the window and show me photos of it by itself from a couple different angles. I'd especially like to see it from underneath, but seeing it from the side would also be a big help. I also can't confirm if you have our Series 795. I'd have to see more of the balance in order to confirm. |

Thank you! These are a huge help. Starting with the balance, it looks like you need an all new Series 795. You'll also need to purchase our 15-194 separately; this is because the Series 795 comes with a 1-1/4" wide shoe by default, but yours looks smaller at 1" wide, which matches the 15-194. Refer to the video I associated with this thread to see how to swap the shoes out. It's very easy, they just pop on and off. As for the tilt latch, I actually think our 26-243 and 26-244 can work for you. Review our dimensions and let me know if you agree. |
