pivot shoes

A home owner from Greenville, SC 29615 says:

Hi,

I have this window pivot shoe showed on the pictures broken. I wonder if you may help me find a right one to replace it?

No any number or markings on it. the thickness: 17/32", width:11/4",

length:1-7/8, Maybe the length do not matter very much as long as it may snug into the groove.

Or any replacement for this old style, fragile plastic one?

Thank you so much!

Hi Andrian,

Thanks for reaching out! Your pivot shoe reminds me of our 15-140 Coil Balance Shoe. To confirm that this is the right replacement carefully review and compare the dimensions shown below.

This balance shoe is compatible with the Series 150 Coil Balance. To confirm the spring strength needed for your coils, you'll need to check the existing coils for any stamps/marking. If there aren't any stamps/markings, you'll need to obtain the exact weight of the sash and divide it by the number of coils in the window.

You may also need the 15-143 Coil Bushing, the 15-144 Coil Bushing Cap, and the 15-145 Coil Support Barrel.
