Truth casement window lock

Question

I broke the lock/latch while trying to lock my window. I'm wondering what part I need to replace it. I also added a photo of the item number of my operator- and according to your website, it has been discontinued and the replacement part is 39-315.
I don't even know how I would access the latch to replace the part. It looks enclosed into the wood. (Not generally handy, just a homeowner)

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for reaching out to us! We're not familiar with this lock so we're not sure how to remove it. It looks like it could be one that has mounting screws that fasten behind the handle. However, I don't see any screws when you show the backside internal workings of the lock. I'm not sure but you may need to remove the locking mechanism of the lock on the inside of the window so you can expose the mounting screws.

With that being said, you might be able to install the 38-177 and 38-178 lock and cover. However, I am not sure until you remove the lock so we can hopefully identify it.
