Hi, thanks for reaching out to us. I would take a look at our 90-009 and 90-072 sweep locks. Let us know if you think one of these could work for you.

thanks. those locks claim to be 2 1/4 inches though, is that measured from where the screw-holes are, or the width of the metal overall?

The 2-1/4" measurement refers the to distance between the installation screw holes from center to center.

Glad to hear! Let us know how the replacement works out or if you need any further help.

Those were perfect, thanks!

Ordering some more soon. However, I also need https://www.swisco.com/cl/Surface-Mounted-Latches-For-Tilt-Windows - the space between screws is 2 and 3/8 while the piece itself is 3 3/8 inches long and 1 and 1/4 wide. Cant seem to find a match for this.

The one at https://www.swisco.com/Top-Tilt-Latch-Neutral/pd/Surface-Mounted-Latches-For-Tilt-Windows/26-215 is close, but the one here a little shorter, see image.

I'm afraid that I couldn't find anything with those specifications. The hole placement is what's most important; that is to say, the distance between the two holes and then also the distance between the front hole and the edge of the housing. Every other dimension can more or less be ignored.

The problem is, I can't find anything at 2-3/8". Can you confirm this dimension? Make sure to measure from the center of each hole.

Some other promising candidates are our 26-177 or 26-188W

maybe closer to 2 and 1/4? is that an option?

We have the 26-188W which has a 2-5/16" screw hole distance. Check the distance from the end of your latch to the first hole, it should be 7/8". The overall length is 3-3/8". I'm afraid we couldn't find any with 2-3/8" screw hole distance.

It's close. I'll try a couple and see how it goes. Thanks
