Harvey advised that these latches have been discontinued and referred me to you to find replacements.

Attached are pictures of the product label and the two broken latches.

(They were intentionally broken by police to gain entry in a medical emergency.)

I hope you have suitable replacements.

Thanks for reaching out to us, Dennis. We'd be happy to assist but before we get started, we'd like you to write out the distance between the two installation holes, measured from center to center. We will be able to narrow down some options from there.

Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify what you mean by the distance between the two installation holes? Do you mean the screw holes? And, if so, will they be the same on both halves of the latch mechanism?
This window is at my mother's house, so it will be a few days before I can get over there to look for myself and take the measurement.

Correct, the installation holes would be the screw holes and the hole center spacing measurement should be the same for both the sash lock and keeper.

We'll be here to help whenever you can get that for us!

The measurement between the centers of the holes is 2 1/8" (two and one-eighth inches).

Attaching some additional pics for reference.
Need 2 complete latch assemblies.

Thank you.

Thanks for getting back to us! I'm afraid we have no sash lock with this kind of hole center spacing. Our 90-278 and 90-274 are similar in terms of design but the installation hole center spacing is different, unfortunately. I apologize that we can't offer you a better option.

Thank you. I'm a "Handy Person", so I know how to fill the old screw holes. ;)
I'll go ahead and order a pair and hope that I'm handy enough to make them work.
