Hey there, thanks for reaching out to us. I have seen this pivot bar before, though I never knew that the brand was Duralite until now. The bad news is that it has been discontinued for some time and to our knowledge it is no longer made. The best option we have in our inventory would probably be the 26-446. The body of this pivot bar is very similar in design to your original, but the tip is more rounded whereas yours is totally flat. This means that it likely won't fit in the pivot shoe cam. You could try to circumnavigate that problem by filing down the "ring" at the tip of our pivot bar until it's just as flat as yours. I know it's not ideal, but it could theoretically work. I've just never tried it myself. I am sorry that I can't give you a better recommendation. I can't guarantee my suggestion will fix your window but it is the best option available to us. |
Hi Tom. Thanks for your help. I also have a Thermal Line window installed in 2007 that needs two pivot bars & one pivot lock shoe. I've attached pictures. The lock picture is of an unbroken one on the window. Would you happen to have either of those? Thanks, Lyle

This is unfortunately another pivot bar that we do not carry. Ironically the design is a lot closer to our 26-446, as it has the same rounded tip, but the long horizontal portion would obviously get in the way. This one is a lot tougher. I don't think we'll have an ideal match. Of all the parts we sell the only thing that may work is our 26-402, but you have the opposite problem: this has a flat tip instead of rounded, so it won't fit in the cam of the pivot shoe properly. The holes aren't in the right position, to boot. I'm sorry again that we don't have a good match for this one. If you could find some way to get the 26-446 to mount on this window, I actually think it would be the better option, but that's a big "if." |
