Thanks for contacting us. I'm afraid your original tilt latch is no longer made, as it was discontinued by the manufacturer. To this day they've never offered a working replacement.

You may be better off substituting with a surface mount tilt latch. These are different than the others in that they just screw on. We have a video tutorial that shows how we do this. We find it to be an easier solution for sashes like yours. Let me know what you think!
