Hello, I have a customer who needs these clips to replace broken or missing ones. They seem to be the window screen retainer clips that snap into the aluminum screen channel. I've been looking online for about 45 minutes and cannot locate anything even remotely similar. Any chance Swisco carries something to replace?

We actually used to carry this exact part at one time, but it's no longer made. Fortunately, I believe you can use our 70-180 as a substitute, along with drilling a hole for our 33-020 screw.

The 70-180 would need to be secured on the face of the door with a 33-020 screw. The end leg of the clip has a 1/2" reach and should press up against the screen or glass panel in the door holding it in place. I would suggest installing four or five on each side and maybe two at the top.
