This type of sash fastener, if properly positioned, should pull them
together.

I find brighton fasteners to be much better. Especially where windows
don't necessarily line up exactly. e.g.

IMO they take too long to fasten, and the threaded bit flops against the
glass if you're not careful. The fitch pattern just needs a quick turn.
