Replacement Window Latches

Question

Hello,

I am looking to replace my yellowed plastic window latches with white metal latches. The latch mounting holes measure 1 7/8 apart and the other side measure 2 1/16. 90-286 and 90-279 seem to fit. Are there any other measurements to consider?

Thanks for posting. Be sure to measure the hole spacing from the center of each mounting hole. If it's indeed 1-7/8" on the sash lock, also consider the backset, or how far the center of the holes are from the rear edge of the lock body. If it's 11/16", then the 90-286 should work as a replacement. The 90-279 is indeed a keeper often used with this.
