Thanks for writing in! Your window lock resembles our 38-095 Maxim Multi-Point Lock. Carefully review and compare the dimensions to your existing lock to determine if this is the right fit for your window. Alternate view of 38-095

In regard to the tie bar, there are (2) different types of tie bars that might work as a replacement for your existing tie bar. To determine which, you'll need to confirm if yours has cone rollers like the 50.9" 38-920 or interlock rollers like the 50.9" 38-972. Carefully compare the design and dimensions to determine which of these is the correct replacement. Dimensions for 38-920
Dimensions for 38-972

Your tie bar guide appears to be one with an interlock roller, part 38-972. The cone roller has a roller in the shape of a cone. We do not suggest breaking the handle off of the lock. Since the handle is still on the lock, you may be able to manually flip the lock. What you'll do is take a flat putty knife and wedge it between the sash and the frame. Then manually lift the lock. I do want to note that this may not be possible in all windows and will only work from the inside of the home. If that solution does not work for you, you will need to contact a professional to come out and take a look at the window. It is very likely that this lock will need to be cut from the frame and that is not something we suggest for homeowners to do on their own. I hope this helps! |
