I need a new tilt latch for a vinyl window, unknown manufacturer.

Measures approx. 2 3/8" x 5/8"

Thank you for posting. It's hard for me to say what tilt latch you need while it's still installed. Is there any way I can see it removed?

In the meantime, I see that you were looking at our 26-244. How does that compare to your tilt latch? Do the dimensions we show match? How about the style of the "tooth?"

Great, thank you. How about our 26-393? Could these be a match for your hardware?

I have these same clips exactly. I was going to order 26-393. How do they get installed into the windows? It took a broken one out and I am having trouble getting it to fit back into the slot. Does it slide in or snap in from the top? Does it come with directions? Thank you!

They should just slide into the slot from the side. You may just be having trouble because yours is broken. Try taking an undamaged one and putting it back in and see if its any easier.
