Casement window lock question

Primary Casement Sash Lock, Non-Handed
Product Code: 38-144
Hi! I have a broken plastic piece on my Peachtree/Crestline/Vetter Series 500 casement sash lock so the window doesn't lock (not good in MN; currently duct taped shut). There is also a secondary handleless lock on the window.
Do I order the 38-144 and a new keeper to make sure the lock closes? Will the handless lock work (it doesn't seem to now) or should I order a handled lock and keeper for that upper lock too?

This window is on the north side of my house so I want it to close and stay closed.

Thanks for posting. Is the 38-144 identical to your original lock? If it isn't, then it may not work. If you show me a picture of your old lock we would have a better idea of what you have and what may work as a replacement.
