I am recommending our 90-005 window sash lock as a replacement. Please take a look and let us know if this could work for you.

I placed an order (90-005) for 8 Locks, when in fact I needed the matching Lock Keeper (90-109?) I assume the Keeper would have to be ordered seperately since it's a different part number, correct?

Hello! The 90-005 that you purchased actually doesn't use a keeper. It is designed to latch under the glazing of the top sash. You can actually see a good example of what I'm talking about in the customer-submitted photos above. Note how the locking tab slides under the glazing of the top sash. This is how it locks.

You should double check your window to verify exactly how your lock is designed to function. Photos of your application would also give me a better idea of what you have and how it's meant to work.
