I'm afraid that we don't have anything like this. Can you tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center? Can you also show me what this lock actually locks into to secure the window? I can't make out how it works from your photos.

Holes are 1 1/2" center to center
I don't have a picture of the recieving portion of the window, but my technician told me its just a notch cut into window sash

Thanks! I thought that might have been how it worked, I just wanted you to confirm. I can tell you right off the bat that we don't have anything like this at the moment, but we will do our best to track down a usable substitute. Please bear with us a little longer.

Believe it or not, I recognize this old lock. This was used on C & P windows but is no longer available. It's just too old.

That being said, we have a few that may work as a substitute if you're handy enough to adapt them. Take a look at the 90-005 sweep lock, as well as the spring loaded types like the 90-023, 90-240 or 90-050.

@ Dave Sr,
Thanks, I was looking at those thinking the same thing. I think I will order some and give them a shot. Thanks everyone for your input.
