Pivot Lock Shoes for Vinyl Windows

Question

Hi there! I'm in need of at least 8 Pivot Lock Shoes for Vinyl Windows made/sold by Thermaline Co. in Bellmore, NY over 20 years ago & are now (apparently) out of business. Or the OEM might've been Crystal Windows & Door Systems in Flushing, NY and Thermaline sold/marketed the windows under their own name. Their are no markings on the Pivot Shoe and it closely measures 2-1/8" LONG (dimension includes the slight belly at the bottom of the part directly under the metal cam), 1-1/4" WIDE (when side locks are not extended) and 9/16" DEEP. There are 2 SWISCO parts that appear to match closest to these dimensions, these are: 15-152 and 15-129. I will appreciate if you could please review the attached photos and help me decide which part (if any of these, or other parts) might serve as a best fit. Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks for posting. I am afraid we don't have an exact match for this pivot shoe, but based on the dimensions you provide, I agree that the 15-129 is our closest match, as it has a similar cam and design--and the width and thickness are the same. I can't be 100% certain this shoe will work, but it is our closest match. If you give it a try, let us know how it works for you.
