Keeper for double hung window lock

I am trying to replace the keepers on a few of my double hung windows, as they are bent. Based on the window manufacturer (now out of business), I believe it is Truth hardware.
Screw hole spacing is 2-1/16". The picture of what I have is in the attached image on the right. All of the replacements I can easily find (example on the left of the picture) have the screw holes much closer to the edge of the wood than my version.
Any idea of whether a direct replacement is available, or do I need to bite the bullet and fill in and re-drill screw holes?
Thanks!

Hello,

Your sash lock is similar to our 90-278. The installation holes have the same spacing and forward placement as shown below. Take a look and let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks for posting!

Hi Casey,
Thanks, but it is not the sash lock that doesn't match. It is the keeper (the part the lock locks into). The one you sent is also very shallow, and would require new screw holes.
Thanks,
John

Thank you for clarifying. We do not have an exact match for your keeper with offset holes but I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look and see if they could recommend a replacement for you. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available.

Unforutnately, your original offset keeper is no longer made. I don't recommend making new holes in the sash since it would be too close to the old holes. Our best options would be to try using a combination lock and keeper like the 90-278 that Casey mentioned. I'm sorry we won't be able to supply a closer match at this time. If you decide to give it a try and run into issues with the placement of the installation holes, our return policy can be found here.
