The windows are from "Champion Window".
This company told me that the windows are of industrial grade (sold to a real-estate developer) and about 20 years old. The company cannot provide the parts.
The 3 type of parts I need are shown in the attached photo.
For a preliminary test I need:
(1) Left & right sliders for bottom sash (with safety lock) - 1 of each;
(2) Left & right sliders for top sash (without safety lock) - 1 of each;
(3) Latches (with CHAMPION written on them) - 2 of them;
(3) Tool to operate above safety lock - 1 tool.
Slider covers are black plastic; latches are black/dark metal.
The spacing between screws is 2 1/4 inches for both sliders and latches.
The width of the each sash is 1 1/2 inches.
If test is conclusive, I'll order more of the sliders & latches.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We don't sell a tilt latch that measures 2-1/4" on installation hole centers. You may want to double-check this to be safe. For the lock, see if the specifications of the 90-072 match what you need. I'm not sure what tool you're referring to, however. Can you clarify what kind of tool you need?

Tilt-latch:
I double-checked the distance between hole centers. It is 2-1/4". The size of the device is 3-3/8 x 1-1/8".
What are the specifications of the tilt-latch that you have & would be closest?
Tool:
I am uploading a new photo: the lock is clearly marked: it is the black "screw". It is a sort of Philips screw, but with 3 curved branches it seems. The tool is presumably a sort of screwdriver to turn the lock.

I recommend you have a look at the 26-178 tilt latch in all plastic and the 26-188 in all metal. Carefully look over the specifications and see what you think. As for that safety lock screw, it takes a #1 Tri-wing screwdriver.

Tilt-latch:
I measured more precisely the distance between hole centers: it is indeed 2-5/16".
It is nice that the device is reversible.
Sweep-lock:
It seems that you have it only in white. Is it true that you don't have it in dark/black.
Tool:
Thanks for telling me what to use.

We only sell the 90-072 in white, unfortunately. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much for you help.
I will now order some parts to verify that they fit.
It would be nice if, some day, you had sweep-locks in black, thus matching the tilt-latches.
