Can the 15070 replace my Thermal Guard pivot shoe?

Quick Learner from Venango, PA
The one i removed is 5/8 deep by 1 1/4 wide by 1 3/4 high with a white cam, will this one work as a replacement??? What do you recommend ???

Hello! Our 15-070 was only used by Thermal Guard, Season-All, and Douglass Lloyd brand windows. If your window was manufactured or installed by one of these companies then it should fit. 

If not, then the chances of the 15-070 working fall considerably. I'm not necessarily ready to rule it out, but the only way to say for sure at this stage is to see a photo of the original for us to review.

Thanks! I do happen to recognize this shoe, and I can confirm that our 15-070 newer version. This should work fine for your window.

We have had these Thermal gard window for thirty plus years, and they seem do do well. With one exception, the old pivot shoes seem pron to breaking. That is the exact pivot shoe I have in my windows. I am so happy you have a replacement, and said replacement looks stouter than the old one. I will be ordering replacements for all my windows. Do you have any recomendations on cleaning the channels, as I'll likely have the entire window apart anyway.

Thank you so much,
Eric

Good morning, Eric. I'm glad you were able to find the pivot lock shoes you need! Thank you for visiting the site and participating on the discussion board.

As far as cleaning your window channels, I recommend a general all-purpose household cleaner. You can then give it a spray of silicone-based lubricant.

I see in your online catalog there are two similar pivot shoe - (5/8 inch thick) replacements. Product code 15-070 and product code 15-047. Besides the price, what is the difference between the two? I will be replacing some of the spiral balancers with series S600-22 blue tip if that makes a difference. Also, is there any special instructions for the removal and replacement of these? Thanks.

The 15-070 and 15-047 are two different style pivot lock shoes and are not interchangeable. I would say that the major difference between them is the style of the cam; the 15-070 has a protruding cam with a hole compatible with pivot bars unique to Thermal Guard windows.

I'm happy to look into this for you. To begin, can you remove your existing pivot lock shoe from your window and send us a photo of it? We should be able to identify which replacement shoe you need from a photo.

4 Pictures of pivot lock shoes attached.

Measures 1 3/4 high, 1 1/4 wide, and 5/8 thick. Broken at top of side arms just below the upper portion where balancer hooks in. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.

Many thanks, that confirmed my choice. This shows that your online catalog pictures and descriptions are quite good and accurate. My order to be placed soon.

The pivot shoe I have matches your 5/8 thick pivot shoe 15-070 on width, depth, but the heighth of mine is 1 3/4" (1 13/16" if we are getting technical) and it seems that none of your pivot shoes, including ones I do not need seem to come any shorter than 2 inch. I just want to be sure that the 1/4" of difference is not going to affect windows going all the way up or down.

Thank you for posting! The height isn't going to be relevant for most pivot shoe styles. Width and thickness are far more important.

Hello! I believe our 15-070 Pivot Shoe is going to be a better option for you, but we will need photos of the original before we can verify. Please let me know whenever you can do so and we can work from there!
