This is the locking mechanism on a casement window

Quick Learner from Los Angeles
I'm looking for the locking mechanism on my basement windows. It comes in two parts - 1) the locking arm that sits behind a molding and provides the anchor for the hooks on the window and 2) the actuator lever that locks and unlocks the mechanism.

In the photos the long piece is the locking arm and the smaller piece is the actuator.

I need both parts. It might be only a single part but since mine is broken, I can't tell.


I believe that the windows are Milguard circa 2004.

Thanks for reaching out to us! It looks like you need a new multi point lock system by Truth, whose parts are used on many different window brands, including Milgard. I'd be happy to look into this for you, but before we can research any further I'd like you to tell me the length of the tie bar itself. Would that be possible?

Once we have that, we'll be better able to look into the available options. I may ask for more information depending on what those options are, but we can cross that bridge when (or if) we get there.

I assume the tie bar is the long bar with 3 hooks? You didn't specify.

The length of the long bar is 3 1/2 feet ( 3 feet, 6 inches)

Yes, I apologize for being unclear. The tie bar is the long, flat piece of metal that serves as the connector mechanism for the three hooks.

Thanks for this measurement, we'll get to researching this now. I'll let you know once we have more for you ASAP!

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find anything in this exact size. The closest match we have for that is 40-3/16" overall, which is a few inches too short. The next size up from that is 46-3/16".

Would either of those sizes interest you? I can't guarantee that they'll work for your application, but they do appear to be the only sizes Truth makes that come close to your original.
