Alside window parts

Quick Learner from Hartville, OH

As you can see I need a multitude of parts. 6 tilt pins. 4 left tilt lock/releases. 4 right tilt lock/releases. 2 single spring balance/shoe assemblies (blue). 4 double spring assemblies (blue). DBA StoneRidge Construction. I've installed replacement windows, mostly Alside, for over 30 years. 100's of them. The windows I'm repairing are up to 25 years old and Alside's warranty program is slow and cumbersome. I just want to order the parts, pay for them and be done. I don't want to stretch this out for months. My client is fixing up the house and wants to sell it. Time is essence, to some degree. Thanks in advance! Loyal

Hello,

Your pivot shoe resembles the 17/32" thick 15-199. This shoe is used with either the 1/2" Series 160 or 3/8" Series 165 coil springs, along with the related items shown on our product pages.

It looks like your pivot bar may be broken. If so, we would need to see an undamaged version to confirm the best replacement option but I can tell you that the 26-378 is commonly used with the 15-199 pivot shoe. Thank you!

None of the remaining pivot bars resemble the one pictured earlier. They probably were all broken and replaced with the one shown below. And I think the shoe is the 15-199. The springs are 1/2" wide. The covers for the springs are all broken and missing except as pictured. I thought at first that the windows were Alside but just now come to realize that some are Alside and some are Simonton.

We do carry a few 3" long U-shaped pivot bars similar to the one shown in your new photo. You can start by looking over the dimensions of the 26-068 and 26-089 to see how the height, width and installation hole backset compare to yours.

As for your tilt latches, review the specifications of the 26-243 and 26-244 to see how they compare to yours.
