I've just received spiral balances and pivot LOCK SHOES (15-070) from you for my OLD Thermal Gard windows. I assume there is no specific LEFT/RIGHT pivot LOCK SHOE because your description doesn't mention a left or right pivot LOCK and the ones I received are all the same..
Anyway I already had about a dozen pieces each of both the left and right side Pivot bars lying around for almost 30 years. But after trying to install them it into the pivot lock shoe it seems they are not correct and I might need to replace them (I see you have them Product Code: 26-356). The ones I have LOOK IDENTICAL to yours BUT:
The problem I am having is when I go to put the PIVOT BAR into the pivot lock shoes, the "key"(cam) on ONE PIVOT LOCK SHOE has to be reversed (I can't seem to be able to do that) and causes the window to lock on one side and slide on the other. They can only go into the window itself 1-way and I am sure the lock shoes are correct.
Attached is a photo of the pair of pivot BARS that I have. Note that the "key" on both metal pieces are the same so when they go into the window one side key doesn't match up with the pivot LOCK shoe. If I flip the pivot lock shoe so that they do match when I push the window back up one side pivot-lock locks and the other pivot lock UNLOCKS side unlocks and the window won't slide. It seems the problem is both my pivot BARS are keyed identical.
Are your PIVOT BARS (26-356) keyed in reverse when looking at them from the front or are they keyed the same as mine are in the picture? Or am I simply doing something wrong so as not to get the "one side locks one side slides" when i flip up the window?
I keep spending and spending on small orders (the freight is killing me) and seem to be getting nowhere fast. I'm trying to get just one sash on one window working before I order for the other 3 but this simple project is fighting me.
