Trying to find a replacement for these parts

Could someone help me identify a match in your catalog for these? I am not sure when I look at available SKUs. We have several screens that have lost one or the other. Most likely I would need three pairs (left and right).

Thanks,

Neal

Hi, Neal.

It looks like you need a new knife latch. However, I can't be sure if we have a replacement while your latch is still in the frame. Could you remove it and show me? I will do my best to assist from there.

Hi Emily,
I'm afraid I can't get it out of the screen to take a full picture of the knife latch by itself. (Plus I'm thinking I also won't be able to get it back in!). So I took 2 pictures of the left knife latch in extended mode #2248, and in place #2247.

The right one is also taken in 2249 as extended.

Also noticed we're missing a top clip of some kind--the one that works/in place is #2250, and the missing one in 2251.

Does this help?

Thanks
Neal

Without seeing your latch removed, I can only make an educated guess. With that said, start by taking a look at our 70-172 and 70-174. However, you'll need to remove your original latch from the screen and compare our dimensions to yours to see if one of these matches up. That's the only way to determine if our parts will work for you.

Here are updated pics with the knife latch removed. Would you say it's 70-172?

Thanks

Thank you, Neal! This is a huge help. We believe your knife latches have been discontinued but our 70-172 and 70-226 are indeed similar. Review our dimensions and compare them to yours to see what you think.
