From your photos, it looks like you can use the 90-278 window lock. If you want to be sure, you can compare measurements between our part and yours.

Will this work on the window that doesn't need a keeper? It latches directly into the window.

If you can remove your lock so we can see the locking tongue, we'll have a better idea if it will work for you. Thanks!

I can?t as the lock is in a property across the country. I?ll be back there later this summer and will try again.

These measurements don?t add up. The screws look like they?re under 2? apart. Am I mistaken?

It's tough to confirm what your hole spacing is based on just a tape measurer. Such photos are good to get a general idea of size, but when it comes to precise measurements they can be difficult to gauge since the tape measurer is usually a little skewed or otherwise just a bit off. 

In my experience, Many customers with Viking windows have used our 90-278 lock. This has a screw hole distance of 2-1/16". I've known some customers to have a hole spacing of 2-1/4", too, but I don't think that's what you have. It's definitely closer to 2" . The problem is, we don't have a lock in this style with a hole spacing of less than 2". If that's what yours is, I'm afraid we will not be able to replace it. 

If I had to guess for the keeper, then yours was inside the top sash interlock, which itself has been discontinued. Our 90-282 may be a good replacement but I want to stress this is an educated guess. You'd have to look at the old one to confirm.
