Window Replacement Part

Quick Learner from Sheldon, Vermont

Hello

We need to order a bunch of the window "dohikeys" that allow you to lean the window out to clean it. Attached is photo. Our Portland Glass company said part # is 28CBS1. Might be called top tilt latch pair??

I measured the rectangular latch. 3" L x 3/4" W looks like

Do you have? How do we order?

Thanks Gary

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out! There is a chance that we can supply you with the replacement tilt latches needed for your window repair. However, I'll need to see a photo of an undamaged latch to confirm. It would also help to see the latch installed in the window.

Please let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime.

Yes, I did see that latch. However, it does not provide enough information to properly identify the part.

Once I have the requested photos, that will give a better chance of recommending the most accurate replacement.

Thank you.

Thanks for the photo. Your tilt latches look like they could possibly be our 26-243 and 26-244. To confirm that these are the correct replacement, you'll want to find an undamaged latch and compare the measurements shown on the diagram below. 

If the dimensions are not a match, I'll need to see a photo of an undamaged latch and I'll need to know the written measurements.

Alternate View 2 3/4" L x 11/16" W

the spring-loaded switch sits 1 1/4" from edge of rectangle where tongue sticks out (if that is what your 3/16" measurement is above). I'll add the the tongue recoils into a 1/2" space.

Profile view is 3/8 in H x 7 or 8/16 in W x 3/8 in tongue width (?)

Our 26-243 and 26-244 still appear to be the closest match to what you have. The 3/16" measurement is the distance between that tab at the bottom and the end of the rectangular base. It does not include the triangular shaped latch. Yours does not appear to have this tab on the bottom, so the measurements you'll need to consider are the length and the width.

The only other length we have is 2-7/8", which would be too large for what you have. 

Double check the measurements to see if these might be a fit for you.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your patience and help. Ordered two pair to try out. If fit we'll be ordering a bunch more. Thanks Gary
