At first glance, this sash lock reminds me of our 90-286, which has 1-7/8" hole spacing center-to-center. If yours has 2-1/4" hole spacing though, something like our 90-274 would in theory be a better match. Double-check your dimensions, compare, and let me know what you think.

Thanks, Bob. I've spent over an hour looking for this part. Pella wanted $35 for shipping.

Yes, Pella is indeed not exactly forgiving with their costs to replace specific hardware. In a few cases though, generic replacements match the Pella parts exactly in dimension and can work just as well. Let me know if that is indeed the case here.
