Hello,

Take a look and compare the dimensions shown on the 26-243 and 26-244 product pages to your assembly. Please note that the curved tooth of your original latch is no longer available. That isn't normally a problem but the straight tooth that comes with our latches could interfere with the balance in some cases. Look them over and see what you think.

Those won't work. As you can see from my photos, the tongue is flush to the body of the latch. The ones you showed have a ptotrusion.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure which protrusion you're referring to. Could you elaborate?

The long side of the tooth. Yours has a "shoulder". Mine does not. For my windows, the tooth needs to be narrower than the total width of the latch. Please refer to my op down photos.

As we mentioned in our original response, unfortunately, your narrow and curved locking tooth is no longer available. The 26-243 and 26-244 would be the best replacement option that we can provide. I'm sorry that we won't be able to offer an exact match but please let us know if you have any other hardware questions.

I'll look elsewhere. Thanks.
