Thanks for posting, Elsa. That looks like a match for our 15-087 pivot shoe, which is compatible with our Series 180 spring.

However, I do notice one difference, which is the style of the cam. You mentioned that the part you already purchased didn't work, but you didn't go into any more detail. Is the style of the cam the reason why it isn't the right item? If so, you may run into the same issue with our 15-087.

Please clarify why the part you already purchased didn't work and we can work from there. Just to hedge our bets, I'd like to see a photo of the pivot bar the interacts with your old pivot shoe, too.

Ah, I see. I figured that was it. Can you show me the pivot bar? We don't have a pivot shoe just like yours, so we need to see if we can get the 15-087 to work. Since the cam is the issue, we need to see what goes into your cam now (the pivot bar). Hopefully from there we can find something similar to yours that will also work in the 15-087.

Thank you for responding so quickly . The reason that we need the cam that is on the right is because there is a small of bleb at the bottom of it and in order for the cam to fit into the windowsill it needs that piece. When I purchased the cam on the left it did not come with that small bleb and that is what is needed in order to keep the piece to fit properly.

I have to wait for Bob to come home & take window apart so I can get a picture of pivot bar. Thanks again.

Aha, I see. Your pivot bar is definitely not going to fit in the 15-087. I can see now why your old pivot shoe cam had the design it had. 

I think our 15-087 can still work--or, that is to say, the new pivot shoe you already purchased--but you'll have to change that pivot bar out. Take a look at our 26-040 to start. This only uses one screw, but as long as its position is in the same as yours then it should install just fine in your window. If you can put this in your window then you can use your new shoe without issue. Let me know what you think.

Thank you Tom. I have just placed an order & hopefully these products will do the trick. I greatly appreciate all your hard to work to help us repair our vinyl windows.

Regards,

Elisa

It was my pleasure, Elisa. Please let us know if it works out, or if you run into any other issues. If the 26-040 doesn't work, either, then we will do our best to find something that will!

Thank you again Tom. I will let you know?

Dear Tom:
We received the parts & I will let you know how they work out. I have another issue. The window stops have broken in a few windows. Do you have these parts? If you have a catalog can you send me one.
Thank you again.

Hello again, Elisa. We sure do. See our 26-362, I think you'll find this is a close match to your original vent latch.

I'm afraid we do not have a physical catalog, but all the parts we carry can be found in our online store.

Thanks Tom. I will order some today once I check measurements again.
