I am looking for a 15 inch tie bar with cone rollers (2) for a casement window lock. It's 10.25 between cones, and ;first cone is .847 from end of tie bar. I have had no luck finding this tie bar. I was wondering if a longer tie bar could be cut down to 15 inches, if the cones would be the proper spacing. Or do you know where I could find this item. Thanks.

Hello, thank you for posting,

We do not currently have this length in stock, but we can supply a 14.9" tie bar that has two cone rollers and one lock drive point.  If this style sounds like what you need, let us know and we can supply it. The lead time would be 5-6 weeks. Please let me know if you would like to move forward.

We reached out to the manufacturer and unfortunately they are not able to provide a diagram to us, so we cannot confirm the distance between the rollers. We can only confirm that the tie bar has two cone rollers and one drive point. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

The lead time for this product would be 5-6 weeks. Please let me know if you would like to move forward.
