Brixwell Silver Line Snap-in Tilt Latch 85 Series Right Hand in White Finish, 2-3/8" Length, 11/16" Width, 7/16" Thickness, Plastic Component for($12.55Value)

Description

PLASTIC MATERIAL BUILD: Constructed from molded plastic, this tilt latch is shaped for compatibility with vinyl sash frames, enabling tilt movement without disrupting window locking or sash positioning during operation. WHITE FINISH MATCH: Finished in white to coordinate with typical vinyl window profiles, allowing the component to blend into sash frames for use in retrofits, hardware maintenance, or replacement projects. COMPACT DIMENSIONS: Measures 2-3/8" length, 11/16" width, and 7/16" thickness, suited for configurations requiring low-profile latching components in tilt-in sash window applications using minimal clearance spaces. SNAP-IN INSTALLATION: Configured for press-fit attachment, this latch fits directly into sash grooves without tools or fasteners, facilitating straightforward replacement in tilt-compatible window systems. The Brixwell right-hand snap-in tilt latch is a replacement component for tilt-in window sashes where a retractable nose engages a frame keeper during normal operation and releases to allow tilting for cleaning or service. Molded from plastic with a white finish, the latch body is designed to press-fit into the sash pocket and sit flush at the rail surface. Dimensional checks help confirm fit before installation: body length is 2-1/2", back cutout length is 2-3/8", body width is 11/16", and latch height is 7/16". The nose provides a 5/16" vertical projection and a 1/8" forward projection to interface with the keeper. Installation is straightforward - align the body with the recess, press until fully seated, and verify that the nose extends and retracts smoothly without binding. After fitting, test the tilt-in action and confirm clearance around the cap and pocket corners. Routine care consists of cleaning with mild soap and water and periodic inspection of the spring action and nose edges to maintain consistent engagement.
