Hello! You can use our modern 15-192 pivot shoe in older Certainteed brand windows, but there's one key difference that may cause an issue.

The newer 15-192 has aligner "bumps" on the front face that the original shoe lacked. These can get in the way of installation, and as such you may need to trim them off with a utility knife prior to installation.

If you go this route, make sure to wear safety gloves just to be safe. Please also note that products altered in this way cannot be exchanged for a refund. You can see our return policy here for more information.

Aside from that detail, the 15-192 should work in your window with all the original hardware.
