Thanks for writing in! There is a chance that we can supply you with a replacement latch lever/actuator however, I'll need a bit more information to confirm.

To start, I'll need to know both the size and the spacing of the prongs. You may need to located an undamaged version of these part to confirm accurate measurements.

It would also help to see a photo of the internal latch this part is compatible with.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for confirming the measurements. Take a look at our 26-001. This isn't an exact match and the measurements differ slightly however, there is a chance this could work as a replacement.

The other option you have is to convert this window to one that uses a surface mounted tilt latch. For instructions on how to do so, take a look at the video below from our Swisco YouTube channel.
