I am looking to replace some pivot shoes, spiral balances and surface mount tilt latches. I think the windows are manufactured by American Craftsman.
Img 8804 surface mount latch has 2" on center screws and a 7/16th offset, and a number on the back L 307.
The spiral balance Img 8805 end that connects to the pivot shoe has two extrusions 1/2 " on center, 1/8" from the end, about 29 1/4" length.
Img 8616 pivot shoe total length 1 1/2".
Please let me know the part numbers so that I can place an order.
Thanks
Tod

Hello, Tod. We should be able to help with all three parts here.
Starting with the spiral balance, you have either our 3/8" diameter Series 900 or 9/16" diameter Series 600, depending on the size of the outer tube.
For the pivot shoe, my first guess would be 15-047, but you will need to measure the thickness and width to confirm. Length is not important for this part.
Lastly, concerning the tilt latch, we only have two products with a 2" hole spacing: the 26-337 with a 13/16" offset and 26-344 with a 3/4" offset. Look over their respective dimensions to confirm which one, if either, will line up with your original.

The attached videos are excellent and answers all my questions. The spiral balance replacement video about the width and color tip, along with weighing the sash was helpful.
Thanks
