Window tilts for old windows

A quick learner from Mississippi says:

I just received my replacement parts (26-314) and they are not correct for my windows. The spacing for the screws is correct but the part that actually holds the window in is on the opposite side. Egad.

Can I return?

Do you have a correct replacement?

First off, I'm very sorry to hear that you had trouble with our hardware. You can absolutely return these for a refund and can get started with our return policy here.

Now, concerning your original part, I have actually never seen this style before. It's a little peculiar. Would you happen to have an undamaged version I can see? Would you also happen to know who made the window?

A quick learner from Mississippi says:
I don't have an undamaged part. The one in the photo is the best I have. As far as who made the windows the photo with the label on the window is the only information I have. I won't return these parts until I hear back from you on this post.

I wasn't able to find a good match for this latch either, unfortunately. Can you go into more detail as to why the 26-314 didn't work? If you haven't returned it yet, would it be possible to see what the 26-314 looks like on your window? I've been looking all over for the original with no luck and it seems the 26-314 really is our best option. If that won't work, I don't know what will.

A quick learner from Mississippi says:
Well, I must apologize to you. After inspecting the windows a little closer I found that the 26-314 is going to work fine. Don't know if one was put on backwards that I looked at or if I tried the wrong one, left on right, but I have installed all the sets and they are working.

I want to thank you for your FANTASTIC customer service. You were professional, helpful and respectful in your communications. I will come to you for any future window issues I have.

Sincerely
