Based on my search, I am not sure about the difference between # 26-419 and # 26-243. Please make your recommendations based on information I have provided.

 

Thanks for your excellent assistance, RC

Thanks for posting, and good work narrowing it down to these two tilt latches--I agree that they are your best bet. The difference between the 26-243 and 26-244 versus the 26-419 and 26-420 is the size of the 'locking tab' on the underside of the latch body. See the diagrams below. The 26-243 has a locking tab that is 3/16", whereas the 26-419 measures at 3/8". Assuming all other dimensions check out, whichever choice best matches your tilt latch is what you should go with. Let us know if you have any questions.
