I'm trying to repair a window. It's missing the set of internal window tilt latches.
Information about the window. It's a vinyl tilt window with the following label on the underside of the sliding part:
33 3/4x53 1/4 8501-3
20295043*1*2*1 2
30 3/8*26 5/16
Argon
The opening for the internal tilt latch is offset from the end of the window by 1/2 inch. The opening is 2"x 9/16" with a square edge on the outside edge and a semi circle edge on the inside edge. I have also attached a picture from a working tilt latch on a matching window.
Help identifying the replacement tilt latch is my primary concern. I also have a secondary problem.
The pivot shoe from the left, looking outwards, is stuck. The right hand pivot shoe is spring loaded, and appears to be working correctly. I've attached a picture of the pivot shoe. Help in identifying a replacement pivot shoe, and advice on that repair is much appreciated.
Thank you for your help.

Please disregard the issue with the pivot shoe. I was able to get the pivot shoe moving again.

Hello,
I'm happy to hear that you were able to correct the problem with your pivot shoe. As for your tilt latches, your last photo resembles the 26-408 latch pair. Take a look and compare the dimensions below to an intact part to confirm it's a match. Thanks for posting!
