replacement hinge key ?

Hi, there. I have 50-year old triple track aluminum storm windows on my New England home. One of the outside (upper) storm windows has both hinge keys broken off and I was told it can't be repaired because the window frame is riveted to the hinge key. Is this true? If it's not true, do you have the replacement hinge keys and instructions on how to get the frame apart? Or perhaps you sell the replacement frame? (The frame also has a "fin" along the top edge that fits into the upper channel of the storm window frame.)

I have a customer with aluminum triple track storm windows. All of the screen inserts are gine and they'd like me to build new ones. I see all of the hardware I need on your site, except for the frame material itself - do you carry it? If not, can you point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately, storm window manufacturers are a dying business, unless you can find one of them you might be out of luck. I apologize for any inconvenience.
