Latch for 1960's Sliding Aluminum Window

Home Owner from Los Angeles
We need a replacement for a broken latch on a 1969 aluminum sliding window, single pane. Attached are pictures of the broken latch, an unbroken old latch on another window, and a latch that has been replaced by a previous owner. Can you recommend what replacement latch to order that looks like the replaced latches we already have?
Thank you!

Hello,

Unfortunately, the manufacturer discontinued your window latch and didn't offer a replacement. That being said, take a look at the metal 90-193 window lock but keep in mind that you would need to drill new holes to mount it.

As for the more modern sash lock, we would need you to write out the exact distance between the installation hole centers to help us narrow down your replacement options. Thank you!

What about 90-005 and 90-009? (They look more like the replacement that was done by previous owner.) Thank you!

I agree that those locks are a similar style to yours but the hole spacing and sweep locks would be the determining factors. Review the dimensions from our product pages below to confirm if either option would work for you.
