I have Gorell windows of various sizes installed in my house. Gorell went out of business so I'm looking for replacement parts. The bars on the bottom of the windows has rusted off. I need to replace them. Do you have parts to replace these.

This pivot bar is similar to our 26-040 in terms of design, but you should review the dimensions we show for this product to ensure they all match up.

That part #26-040 measures the same as mine but mine has a little ear that sticks upon one end. It is about 5/16 inch from the end. I have attached a photo. Will your part work or is there another one.

I'm not sure, I've never seen that little ear before. Does that serve a specific function?

I don't know what the part is called that this bar fits in but the little ear fits just inside of it. I may lock the bar into that slide. Not sure if that makes sense. I think I will order a few of the 26-040 and try them. I see no reason they shouldn't work. Thank you for your help.

Ok. It's the pivot shoe. I see the pivot shoe you sell has opening the same shape as the bar. Mine does not have that shape but appears to just be a round opening. The ear would lock the bar into the pivot shoe when it is tilted up. I still don't see why the 26-040 wouldn't work so I will order them. Thank you.

Great, thanks for clarifying. It definitely sounds like the 26-040 can still work. For peace of mind, though, you can see our return policy here. If you run into any issues you can always return it for a refund and we can do our best to help you from there.
