    I think you could certainly build up the worn areas on your latch with either weld or brazing. Probably without disassembling the whole thing, but if need be it could be taken apart by drilling out the rivets. To me less work than replacing the whole works with bearclaw latches. On my five window I found it necessary to shim the catches on the jams out a little.
