window locks

I ordered part no 26-078 and 26-079. They are just a little too thick like maybe 1/32 of inch and not oval in shape. This is for a window that is 21 years old, double hung. Do you also sell the self tapping screws if I can't find any the right size at Home Depot?

Sorry to hear these tilt latches didn't work out for you. Check out our 26-410 or 26-439 instead. Look over the dimensions and see if one of these pairs would work better. We do sell some self-tapping screws, which you can view here, but to be honest you may be better off taking your old screws to a hardware store to get the exact match.
