I need new shoes

Handy Person from Fulton Missouri
I purchased new spiral balances from you but it turns out i need some replacement "shoes" the ones I need have a metal piece at the top that is bent, broken or missing. I dont know what the manufacturer is they say easy care on the top for the window latch. The shoes appear to be about an inch wide. I looked at what you have on your website but none of them looked correct.

Hey there,

Thanks for posting! I am certain we can recommend a replacement for this shoe but to confirm the right fit, I'll need to know its width and thickness. That said, you'll need to remove the shoe from the window and provide the measurements, written out.

Please also provide a photo of the pivot bar used with the shoe. There is a chance it may not be compatible with the replacement, depending on the shape and size of the shoe cam.

I've included a video tutorial below with instructions on how to remove/install the shoes.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.

Measurements: 

Wide .98"

Long 2" at the wide point

high.37"

The metal piece that slides into the shoe is missing on this one. 

See attached photos the pivot bar is a bent on this window

I need about 8 of these shoes.

Hello,

Thanks for the requested information. Although, I'll just need to know the thickness of the shoe to narrow down the correct replacement. This is the front to back measurement, on the side of the shoe.

I'll also need to see the pivot bar removed from the bottom of the sash. It is difficult to see its exact shape and to get a clear view of the installation hole placement.

Unfortunately, I do not have a phone line I would be able to call you from, this discussion thread is the best method for communicating with me.

As mentioned, your exact pivot shoe is no longer made but our 15-134 should work well as a suitable alternative. To replace the pivot bar, you'll need the 26-297

Carefully double check the dimensions below and see what you think.
