Patriot "Liberty" Series Pivot Lock

I have vinyl windows in a 1997 era Ryan Homes house which are the Liberty series from Patriot manufacturing in NJ. Several pivot locks are broken apart and need replacement. The primary height (without the projecting cam) is 2-1/32". With the projecting cam it is 2-1/8". It is 1-1/4" wide. It is .5365 inches thick on my micrometer, so just a hair over 17/32. The cam channel hole is 5/16 x 3/16. I am inclined to go with the 15-015 as it appears to be the best match size-wise, but the "style" is definitely different (more like the 15-118).

The spiral balance tubes are .5725" OD and have an orange (perhaps red) tip.

I appreciate your help with making a recommendation for the most appropriate pivot lock.

Thanks for posting. Based on the design of the pivot shoe, I think the 15-118 is the better match. 9/16" is still awfully close to the thickness you're reporting. You can always double-check another shoe to be safe. Either way I think you'll find this the better potential match; that 'offset' face in the 15-015 is seen in older versions of it, so the fact your old shoe lacks that design makes me think it won't work. Let me know if you have further questions.

To double check, I stacked a couple of 1" washers around a magnet to thickness of 0.5615" and it barely fit in the channel (with some force). 9/16" (0.5625) would definitely be too thick.

Gotcha, thanks for verifying. If 9/16" is too thick then the next size down would be our 17/32". The design of that shoe still doesn't match your old shoe as closely as I'd like, but the numbers don't lie. The 15-015 may still be your best option.
