Hi, I was wondering if you all have a replacement for the attached photos, or if I can use different parts in place of these? The attached pictures are of the awning window operator and sash lock. The house that these parts are from was built in 1967 and I believe the window and hardware are Andersen brand but I'm not entirely sure.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I see you have an old style "Bilt Best" Roto-Lok Awning window which is no longer available along with the related hardware. You will need to install one of the newer type operators, like the 39-015 crank type operator or one like the 39-069 lever type operators. You will also need to have a new wood sill cover to adapt to the newer style operator and you may also need to install one of the hinges, like our 36-048, listed from the web site. Have a look at the parts I mentioned and get back to us with your thoughts.

Thank you for the info! Would these be able to be mounted on the side of the window using the old mounting points or would I have to retrofit them another way? Here are some more photos for reference.

I don't think they'd work as well mounted on the sides. These are meant to push an awning window out from the bottom. Would you be able to mount these on the bottom sill? I'm not sure how much room you'd have to install these. Like Dave mentioned, it will likely require a significant amount of adaptation. Even then there's no guarantee that these will work.
