I think all if not most pivot shoes lock when the sash is tilted in.

Post some images with dimensions of exactly what you are looking for, we'd be happy to research it for you.

Our dimensions are 2 1/16", 3/8", 15/16"!
Now you have a pivot shoe that size, but you also have a pivot shoe lock that is 2 1/16", 3/8", and 31/32". Not sure of the difference.

The difference is simply that one pivot shoe is 15/16" wide and the other is 31/32" wide. It's a slight difference, but it is a difference.

I have seen the shoe in your pictures before. It's not made anymore, but our records show that the 15-212 can be used as a replacement. It also just so happens to match your dimensions. I think it's your best bet.

Like Donna said, all pivot shoes lock. Don't worry so much about the nomenclature we use, dimensions and design are more important.
