This looks a pivot bar, but a damaged version. is there a whole version you can show us? From there, we'll do our best to see if we have a match for you. Thanks. |

OK, what you're showing in this picture here is what is called a Knife-Lock Shoe; this is attached to our Series 751 Channel Balance. The Channel Balances are the metal channels within the window track; they are spring-loaded mechanisms that enable the opening and closing of the window at will. The Pivot Bar you showed in your first photo is attached to the window sash, or the movable part of the window with the glass, and then in turn the pivot bars connect to these Knife-Lock Shoes. Compare the 26-150 Pivot Bars to an undamaged version of your own and see what you need. As far as the Knife-Lock Shoes, if they or the channel balances they connect to are undamaged, you need not replace them. However, if you're worried about them not moving smoothly, using a silicone spray in the window track can help lubricate things. Let me know if you have any other questions. |

Hi David. Though these new pivot bars look a little different, they should still work so long as the lone mounting hole on the new set aligns with one of the holes used in your old pivot bars; you only need one screw to mount these. As far as the 15-014 Knife-Lock Shoe, you can replace this on its own if the balance is undamaged, but it can be a bit tricky to do. If you want to replace the entire balance, you would need one of our Series 751 balances. |
