Pivot shoe for Milgard double hung tilt

Handy Person from Hilo Hawaii

a bunch of these shoes gave up the ghost and broke. It's the only part that I need. Do you think you can help me

Apparently this is known as an inverted block and tackle balance. More precisely a series 747 inverted tilt block & tackle balance drop in t-lock, closed cam, metal spring.

Hello,

Thanks for writing in! Since the shoe is the only part you'll need to repair the balances, I suggest taking a look at the 15-236 1-1/4" T-Spring Balance Shoe. This is made for balances that have a groove in the bottom of the balance, like yours.

Do you sell the entire balance?

Yes, we do sell the entire balance. Although, it is important to note the 15-236 would not be compatible with it.

The replacement would be our Series 795 Channel Balance which is compatible with the 15-195 1-1/4" T-Lock Shoe, which has a closed cam like your existing shoe.

I'm happy to recommend a replacement for it. I'll just need to know the length of the metal channel, the stamp from the balance, and I'll need to see a photo of the attachment at the top of it. If the attachment at the top is a hook, I'll also need to see a photo of the hole it installs in at the top of the window.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions.
