Window foot
Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us. We're happy to look into this. Are you only looking for the shoe? Can you remove the shoe from the window track and show us a few photos?
I ordered twelve of the 15-014 shoes to repair my balances. I received them, but am having a hard time connecting the shoes to the string / balance. Are you able to explain how this can be done?
Certainly. To remove the old shoe from balance, place the channel balance in a vice and with a pair of pliers, pull the broken piece about 12" from the balance and lock it with a pair of locking pliers, taking the tension off the old shoe and giving you some slack with the balance string. Either untie the old shoe or cut the knot off to remove the old shoe and install the new shoe. To install the balance into the window, remove sash, screw or hook channel balance on the top of the window jamb. With a pair of pliers, pull down the shoe, about 12", and lock the string with a pair of locking pliers. With the tension off you can install the shoe into the window track.
If you aren't comfortable with this project, we recommend contacting a local professional for assistance.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
