I have some single hung windows made by Atrium Doors and Windows of Arizona about twelve years ago. I am replacing the broken sash spiral balances and noticed that the 4 window guides are a well worn and would like to replace them, but can't seem to find replacement slides.
I have included some pictures of the old window guides/slides that might help in finding a suitable replacement.
They are made from a plastic like material and secured with a screw. They are about 3/4 of an inch long and about 1/2 inch wide. The thicker portion of the slide is about 1/2 inch square. The thicker portion of the glide might have been longer when new because these old ones that I measured are quite worn. I am not sure if the groove is absolutely necessary.
Do you have anything that will work?
Thanks for your help.
