Parts for 2004 Dove vinyl window

Question

I need parts that look very much like your Part 15-191 Heavy Duty Pivot Shoe 1/2" Thick. See my photos. My sash weighs about 19 lbs., so estimate need 9 lb. or 10 lb. pivot shoes to work with it. My dimensions (shown in picture), are 1/2" thick, 1 1/4" wide, 2" high. Does 2 of these seem right for this Dove window? (label also in photo). Thanks. Rich

Hello,

I agree that your pivot shoe resembles the 15-191. The width and thickness match our dimensions, but it is a bit off that yours measures 2" high since the 15-191 is only 1". With that being said, the overall height is not a critical measurement as long as the width and thickness match up.

As for the coil springs, I would recommend using one S160-10 coil on each side of the window to support a 19-pound sash. You should be fine as long as the total amount of support, in this case, 20-pounds, is within one pound of the actual sash weight. Thanks for posting!
