Bought vinyl replacement windows previously ? Great Lakes was the manufacturer, only markings on the windows say uniframe
Several latches for the tilt mechanism are broken, looking to replace. The latching mechanism is housed in the window frame. Here are a few photos, thickness of the springloaded mechanism appears to be 3/16? thick. Can you provide any help with replacement availability?

Thank you for posting. I'm afraid we don't have an exact match for this latch. To be honest, you may be better off substituting with a surface mount tilt latch. These are different than the others in that they just screw on. We have a video tutorial that shows how we do this. We find it to be an easier solution for sashes like yours. Let me know what you think!
