Locking mechanism slipping

Question

Hi
I have a locking mechanism 31149 that slips out of my 40538 forks thus derailing preventing my window from locking.

I notice my other bay window has a similar lever on it but with a larger knobby end that slides on the two forks and hangs over the fork sides which prevents the slippage and derailing, photo 125541.

Your parts photo is not clear as to whether the part listed 45082 has a similar knobby end on the lever like 125541 or is it like my photo 123009.

If it does have the knobby end on it do you sell it as just the lever without the rail forks as I already have those?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Susan. Our 38-099 lock does indeed have a bearing at the end of the arm. You can see it clearly in the photo below. The bad news is that these are not sold separately, nor are they even meant to be removed, as they are firmly riveted to the arm. You will need an all new lockset, unfortunately.
