Hi, I have looked at your 26-351 and it isn't quite right altho perhaps I can use it anyway. the ones that I have have two holes on top on no right angle piece on the edge with another mounting hole. the entire piece is 1 and an eighth inches wide and 2 and 7/8 long not counting the triangular slide extension. do you have any like that? thanks, Don

Hi there- thanks for posting!

Could we see some photos of your window latch? This will help us to better determine if we will have a replacement recommendation for you!

I am having problems with my camera so I will just say that at first glance it looks exactly like your 26-351. the only difference is the bigger size as I specified in the first msg and the second hole which is on top on mine but is on the added 90 degree support arm on yours. mine is totally flat.

Without seeing yours, I'm afraid I don't know what to recommend. You say it looks like the 26-351, but you also say it has an extra screw hole and it lacks the vertical angled piece. Those are two pretty big details. Without that vertical piece, your latch isn't even a corner-type, which is the defining feature of the 26-351. You probably have a surface mount type, of which there is a wide variety.

When you also account for the difference in size, there is no way for me to know for sure what you have. There are just too many differences for us to reliably make a recommendation. If you are able to get us photos of your original latch, that would be a huge help.
