I am unable to find this part, can you help? It is 2" long, 1/4" wide and the screw holes are 1-1/2" apart.The prong that is broken off is approx. 1/2" long and 1/4 wide. Thank you.

Thanks for posting. It looks like you have a tilt. Is it possible for you to send a photo of one not that isn't broken? That would help give me a better idea what might work as a replacement.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is a hinge on a tilt window. Attachted is a photo of an intact one.

Thank you.

I can't believe a manufacturing company would use a plastic tilt bar! They would break so easily, I can't imagine that it's convenient. Regardless, I would take a look at our 26-326 Pivot Bar and match its dimensions with your sample to see if it would work.

Hi there,
I have windows that have the attached pivot bars. They are plastic and as we know that doesn't make them very durable. I'm wondering if you have these particular parts in a metal version. Please advise. thanks :)

Good afternoon! I've placed you into an existing thread concerning what appears to be this same pivot bar. As you can see above, Paul recommended our 26-326. Now, it's not an exact match, and we can't guarantee that it will work, but check it out and see what you think.
