CertainTeed window latch needed

This hardware came off a small swing open window in the bathroom. It came off a CertainTeed Auburn window. The lower plastic swing piece has broken. The hole spacing measures approximately 2.25"

I'm looking to purchase a replacement. Another style latch is also ok as long as it works and fits the application.

We have two types of lock that may work for you: the 38-154 and the 38-155, as well as the 38-173 and 38-174. Look these two pairs over and let me know what you think.

Hello Bob. Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately the hole spacing does not match up. My CertainTeed Auburn window were installed in 2004. Do you have any other wedgeless handles that are a closer match? Thanks again

Can you tell me your cam lock's hole spacing, center-to-center? From there I'll see what else we might have.

Yes, the hole spacing center to center is 2-3/8 inch. See attached sketch

Thanks for bearing with us. I'm afraid Bob and I could not find your exact CertainTeed locking handle. I want you to look at the 38-155. This has a 1/4" gap between the base of the lock and the wedge. Check to see if the height on your lock and wedge matches the 1/4" gap. You will need to drill new mounting holes to install the new lock handle.
