Window pins

Home Owner from Chicago
Looking for replacement pins for my generic vinyl windows. They have no name and the pins are broken from the bottom of the window. I believe they lock the window in place so it doesn't come out

Many thanks for writing in to us. We will need some dimensions to help identify this pivot bar for you. Please tell us the length and width of the pivot bar, as well as the distance from the tip that goes in the pivot shoe to the the center of the hole you screw to the sash. From there, we will try and narrow down the right replacement for you.

Thank you! Were you also able to get us the hole position that I requested? You would have to measure from the front tip to the center of whatever hole is used to install the pivot bar. You have two holes, but it's rare that both holes are used. If they are both used, then we'll need to know the distance from the front tip to the center of each hole, respectively. Thanks!

Come to think of it, we just added a new part to our catalog that I think may be worth considering. See our 26-313. This has an installation hole center that is set back 1-9/16" from the tip. Look it over and let me know what you think, or if your hole placement differs in any way!
