I'm delighted to tell all that the casement lock you recommend fits perfectly and is a great fit/replacement! So I've ordered 10 of them and will begin to start the process of replacing them all! I just need another 16 0r so. Additionally, I found that the shim is absolutely necessary for a good fit. And that the old screws won't fit the new
38-036 locks in my situation, so I'd advise spending the 16 cents for each lock. I can't thank you guys enough for helping to resolve this problem once and for all.
I always wondered why my contractor gave me a dozen extra locks when they were installed over 15 years ago...now we know that the PGT locks were cheap, flimsy and broke easily! I don't think these well-made replacements will have those problems.
