Vinyl window latch, very plain.

Quick Learner from Erie Colorado

The windows in our house have these cast metal latches. They are very plain and the cam breaks off from the attachment to the lever. I find very similar latches on the various sites and these have slightly different dimensions. The overall width is 2 7/8", the screw holes are at 2" OC and the screw set back is 15/16".

On the inside there is a cast marking that looks like an emblem of Texas with the letters MDC 7.

If possible I would like to purchase 20-24 of these latches.

Thank you, Joel

Thanks for posting! I'm confident we can replace this lock, but we have nothing in this style with a 2" hole spacing. Can you confirm that dimension? Make sure to measure from the center of each hole. Thank you!

Closer inspection and more accurate measuring devices tell me hole spacing is 2-1/16" to 2-1/8" not really exact for either. My concern is more with the set back distance of 15/16".

Alright, we're getting a little closer. You might be able to use our 90-278 window lock. This also has a hole center spacing of 2-1/16" and a backset of 3/4". It doesn't have the aligners, so the full 15/16" might not be necessary. The keeper might be our 90-237. See what you think.

You may want to triple check your hole spacing just to be 100% sure. The difference between 2-1/16" and 2-1/8" can be a lot for this kind of hardware.
