Do you have any of the attached window lock parts in stock?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting, Greg! That's a strange window lock. It looks sort of like a keeper from a sliding patio door. Could I see a few pictures of this installed? Can we also see the rest of the locking hardware? That will help us locate a replacement.

Hello:

It is from a sliding window in my house in Costa Rica. Every window in the house has the same keeper and a number of them are broken. I just brought it back to the US with me. So unfortunately, I cannot send a picture of it installed.

Best, Greg

Ah, I see. I don't think we're going to have anything exactly like this. Like I said, the closest thing we have are all patio door keepers. Could you use something like our 89-018 as a substitute?

Thanks!
