Window part - tilt latches

Question

I need two sets (two "lefthanded" and two "righthanded") of these tilt latches for Simonton windows (from 2002). These slide into cutouts in the top corners of the sash. Two of the pictures are a front and side view, but it's cracked and the sliding mechanism in picture 6255 is missing. However, the 6256 image is one of these that's still in the window and working fine. These are 3/16" height.

I noticed on your website # Product Code: 26-393B, which seems to be the right part, but it has a nobby thing on the side that may cause it not to work. I bought one that looked like 26-393B at a store but had problems with it, and I think it's because my old part is completely smooth along the sides, as in picture 6257.

What is the length of the latches? If they are 2-3/8" you might need our 26-393 instead, which is very similar to the 26-393B but lacks those side nubs. However, I suspect your tilt latches might be 2-5/8" long instead, and you may in fact need our 26-243 and 26-244. Please review all the dimensions, compare to undamaged tilt latches, and see what you find.
