Need backing plate for 38-036

Hello,

I have a Window Lock (38-036) that fell out of its socket. There should be a metal backing plate used to secure the lock to the window frame but this one is missing. I'm having trouble finding a suitable metal plate (or is this something people generally make themselves?).

I'm guessing I'll also need to use #33-072 to screw them in.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not offer a replacement back plate for the 38-036 casement lock. You are correct that the 33-072 is commonly used to install this lock. Thanks for posting and good luck with your repair!
