3" Long Vent Latches

A home owner from Culver City says:
Hi, I have a set of roughly 10 year old Certainteed slider windows and one set has vent latches that have failed. I am trying to replace the latches but these windows take latches that are 3" long and I am having a hard time finding them. The ones that I found on your site are 2 1/2" long and I am pretty sure that the clips will not work at all in the existing holes because of the shortness. Do you have a latch kit that will work for my windows, or know of somewhere that I could find some.

Thank you for your time.
