Wondering if you can identify this?

Hi there, I'm hoping you might be able to help me.

As you'll see from the attached, I'm looking for the latch piece that allows the window to swing in and out vertically for cleaning (not the security lock). Sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology.

It's from a Champion window, and may or may not be original to the window. I've indicated all dimensions and markings on the attached image, but please let me know if there's anything else I can tell you, additional photos etc.

And thank you very, very much for the help! This service is a great idea, and a lifesaver for me.

Thanks again,
Tom

Hey, Tom. This part is known as a tilt-latch, specifically a surface-mounted tilt latch. It looks like our 26-188, but match the dimensions we show to your own part to confirm.

Thank you, Tom! It looks to be the same, with the exception that my part is plastic and 26-188 is metal. Does that make a difference?

I'm going to order a few 26-188s just to see if they work out.

Thanks again!

I don't think that will matter much, but if you feel more comfortable with nylon see our 26-178.

I have the same tilt latches and they are all cracked. Did the latches the other gentleman bought work for him?

Hi, I'm the original poster, and both the metal and the plastic ones worked on my window. Good luck!
