White tilt latches 1 1/2" by 7/8" with prongs that are 5/16" long by 3/16" wide.

They are opposite to what I see for any other we have. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

What you are showing us is a sash release lever. I am confident we can help you locate a replacement. First, we need to see a few more photos of your part from different angles along with detailed measurements. We'd also like to see the "tongs" of the part. Those play an important role in recommending the most accurate replacement.

The closest one I can find on your website is attached to part number 26-334. Attached is the screenshot of the part I found, I do not know if you have one a little larger in size but I believe two might work for this?

I don't think the thumb lever from our 26-336 is the same as yours. Your prongs are spaced too far apart. I actually couldn't find anything quite like yours.

You may want to consider substituting with a surface mount tilt latch. These are different than the others in that they just screw on. We have a video tutorial that shows how we do this. We find it to be an easier solution for sashes like yours. Let me know what you think!
