Hello. I have Feldco windows that were installed in 1989. I inherited them when I moved into my house in 2002. The lock sash (I believe that's what it's called) is broken on several windows and according to Feldco, since the windows are over 20 years old, the no longer carry the parts for my particular windows. I've attached pictures as well as the sticker that was on my window. Please advise whether or not you carry these parts. Thank you.

We may be able to replace the lock, but I'm afraid we cannot replace the keeper. That is a very old discontinued part that isn't made anymore. I would suspect that even the lock is discontinued, but one of ours may work as a substitute. You can see our entire selection here, for reference. Could you just tell me the distance between the two screw holes, center-to-center? Could you also show me a picture of the lock "tongue" that engages with the keeper?

Tom, I can certainly get back to you with the distance between the 2 screw holes however, isn't the top picture I attached the tongue? If not, please describe what the tongue is. I'm a little lost. Thanks so much.

The top picture is the keeper. The tongue I mention is the sweep that comes out of the lock when you push the lever, which physically locks into the keeper. There are a lot of locks similar to yours, but with different tongue styles, so seeing it will help narrow down our search.

Ahh, yes. Now I know what you're referring. Attached is a picture of the tongue. Also, I measured approx. 2 1/2 inches between the 2 screw holes. Thanks

Thank you! I'm afraid we haven't been able to find a match for this lock with a 2-1/2" spacing. You may be able to use our 90-005, but you would have to drill at least one new hole.
