Most AmesburyTruth fork-type locks in this collection are non-handed, so they can be installed on either side. - Which reach size do I need?
Measure the distance from the mounting surface to the fork's end on your original hardware. Common replacement sizes include 1-5/8 inch and 1-7/8 inch. - Can I use these parts with any window brand?
