These are window screen latches. The opening in the frame that they slide into is 7/8 an inch. Total length of the inset is an inch and 3/4. That's from the tip of the arrow to the tip of the angled piece one would use to open and close the latch. The length between the inside curve from the end to the beginning of the arrow is a 1/2 an inch. The outside of the curve from the end to the beginning of the arrow is 3/4 of an inch. The width of the piece used to open and close the latch is a 1/4 of an inch. The length of the piece that you use to open and close the latch is 1 1/8 inch. Width of the shafty of the arrow is 3/4 of an inch. Width of the arrow is 7/8 of an inch.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we don't sell a screen latch that matches what you have here. Our selection can be found here but I'm afraid they are quite different from what you're searching for. I am very sorry that we can't offer a suitable replacement.

Would you have any suggestions as to who may carry it? Or if there is another latch I could attach to a frame that is generic and easy to install? Thanks.

The shape of your screen clip is a little unusual so I'm not sure if another latch would be suitable. Your best bet may be to ultimately contact the original manufacturer or supplier of the window if you can track them down. Otherwise, see the plastic screen clip, the 70-222. See if you could adapt this clip to fit the cut out in your screen frame. This clip being plastic might adapt better to your screen.
