Subject: Latches for casement windows


Dear all,

Does anyone know where to locate replacement latches for 1920s steel
casement windows? I've received the following distress call from a Richard
F. Wildman and am looking for a specific supplier as close as possible to
Rochester, NY. Can anyone help?
