Hi there! Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm not sure we'll have a match for this pin. Would it be possible for us to see it removed from the screen frame? I can't promise we carry a suitable match but that should help us confirm.

Hello we can't get the pin out but I have a few more photos. They look like a window plunger but without the spring just smaller and shorter. Thanks

Thanks for getting back to us. I think I can help with this issue. I've seen this type of pin in the past. What I suggest is to install a spring loaded pull pin as a substitute. Take a look at the 70-008 and 70-009, which are 7/32" and 5/32" in diameter, respectively. Back when we used to make screens and found that these spring loaded pins were very versatile and worked in place of older pins like this, as long as you pick the right size.
