I have double hung windows using sash pivot bars shown here. Do you have replacements? How do I get the broken end out of the frame?

Thanks for Posting! This looks very similar to our 26-021. What do you think? Are they a match? As for removing the old one from your window frame, it should just be attached with a simple screw. Where are you running into problems?

All I have is the broken end from the screw hole. The remainder is still in the frame with nothing to grab hold of.

I'm still not sure I'm following which part of the pivot bar is stuck. Is it embedded in the pivot shoe? Could I see a picture of the problem area? That will help us know for sure.

If you look at my above photo, the pin from 2 1/4 "(hole) to 3 1/2" is still in the window frame. The remainder is broken off and loose

If that's the case, then you should just be able to unscrew it. If there's no screw and it's simply just stuck, then I'm not sure what you can do. You can try popping it out with a slotted screwdriver.
