Vent latches?

I think these are called vent latches for vinyl double hung windows. They can be used to prevent the lower window from going up all the way. They tilt out from the upper window.

The pictures may have turned sideways. Do you have such a thing?

Hello,

It's hard to tell exactly what you have while it's still installed in the window, but take a look at our tilt hardware page with our sash stops and vent latches. If you still need help identifying your part, please send us another picture of it removed from the window and we should be able to point you in the right direction. Thank you!

Here's some additional information. The slot in the window is 1 1/16" high and 3/16" wide.
The plastic piece is 1 1/4" in the front and 1/8" wide.

New picture added. Does this information help?

Your photo and information are a big help, thank you. We believe you may be able to substitute your piece with our 26-338 sash stop. Take a look. What are your thoughts? Let us know.
