Need replacement of window latches

Can you please help me identify my window latch as shown in the photos? My house was built in 1995 and many of the window latches have been breaking and I need to replace them all.

Thanks

I'm afraid your original latch is no longer made, but you may be able to get our 26-089P to work. The catch is, you'll need to drill a small hole for the lower inside screw on the vertical tab.

Will there be room on the side of my window to fit the vertical tab? I am not home at the moment and don't recall if the original latch has a vertical tab?

Also, is the top hole at the same size and location as the original latch?

Thanks

I don't know if yours has a vertical tab or not, but based on what I see it very well may. It'd be strange for it to only be held in with one screw. The only way to be sure is to remove yours and find out.

Paul,
I took your earlier advice and went ahead and purchased 4 pairs this morning to try out. Hopefully they will fit just fine.

Thanks
