Tilt latch

Quick Learner from Stuyvesant, New York
Facing the window from inside the house, the right tilt latch is broken. I would like to order one, or the pair. Measures 2 and 5/8" long x 5/8" wide. See pictures.

Your latch looks similar in design to our 26-244. It's not exactly the same, but it's close enough that I think it's worth considering. Your next step should be to review our dimensions to verify that they all line up.

Thanks, Tom. What about the 26-442? That has the rounded end. Would that work? Do you still carry that?

We would need to see detailed photos of an undamaged tilt latch uninstalled, along with written-out dimensions to be sure to confirm the best match. Based on what you've shown us so far, I agree with Tom that the 26-243 and 26-244 would be our best replacement options as long as the measurements in the diagrams he included in our last response match up to yours. These latches are much more common than the 26-442, which I have never recommended. Ultimately, you are welcome to give either option a try based on how the specifications match up to yours and if you run into any problems, our return policy can be found here
