Hello,
The need to replace several broken pivot bars on my 15 year old Crystal tilt sash windows. I'm not able to get the broken pieces out of the shoe while in the jamb so I'm not sure if the shoes need to be replaced as well. I only have pictures of the broken off bar in the shoe and a few pieces of the broken bars that fell out. Unfortunately, the pieces are not all from the same window so I can't get an exact measurement of the length. The windows they came from are 30Wx34H and 46Wx32H if that helps.
The approximate shoe measurements: 2"H x 7/8"W x 1/2"D. I can't remove the shoes to get exact specs until I get the jamb expanders (no cut out in frame).
Hoping someone can help me determine which replacement pivot bars would work and which pivot shoe would work (if needed).
Thanks so much!
Bernie

Thanks for posting, Bernie. I've known other Crystal window customers to successfully use our 15-188 pivot shoe and 26-360 pivot bar. You might also want a 75-006 charging tool to help with installation. We also pulled up another way of removing the pivot shoe that you may be interested in. You may find it easier than using jamb spreaders. |

We have another type pivot shoe that locks from the sides instead of the back, since the thickness seems too much to engage the pivot bar in the metal cam. See our 15-135 and let me know if you think you could get this to work. |
