I believe the part number is 85-842. Looking for six.

Thanks

We carry a few different thumb levers like this, but I'm not sure what to recommend. It ultimately depends on the size and spacing of the forks. One of your forks is broken so you'll need an undamaged version of this latch to confirm the best bet.

In the meantime, you can see our entire selection here. You can ignore the total width and length of the top part, just focus on the size and spacing of the bottom forks. That's the vital dimension.

I have attached a drawing with dimensions. Hopefully you will have something that matches up to this. I have five that are broken. So would like to replace these at a minimum. But would like some extra's. Something like 10-12?

Hope you can help with this.

Thanks

Thank you for the detailed information. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any thumb lever that had forks in this same size. I'm afraid we won't be able to supply an exact match.

At this point, 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!

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. This would be an easy fix. We'll decide what to do moving forward. We can operate the broken ones without the thumb buttons by simply using your finger or a flat blade screw driver. I'll keep this email for future reference.

Thanks and have a great day.

Awesome, sounds good! Sorry again that we couldn't get you an exact match, but I think this will work. Let me know if you had any other questions.
