Window pivot shoe with removable black plastic lock

Home Owner from Sellersville, PA

When we bought our home 8 years ago, my wife had never has tilt in windows for cleaning the outside from indoors and she did not open them vertically enough when she tilted them and they broke a bunch ofthe pivot shoe locks and also broke the white metal part of some of the pivot shoes where the window pin seats. The window will not stay open now and looking to replace all of the pivot shoes and and black pladtic pivot shoe locks, but their aren't any stickers on the inyerior window frame to be able to figure out who the manufacturer is, so it makes it extremely hard since there seems like there are hundreds of option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If we cannot find replacement parts, the next step is total window replacements, but very expensive.

Thank you in advance for any help or direction.

Hello! Your pivot shoe looks to be a match for our 15-215, while the tamper lock looks like our 15-214. Look these two products over and let me know if you had any questions!

Tom,
 
I ordered a bunch of both parts yesterday, but I am not sure if I need to replace the coil spring assemblies?
They were working fine before my tilted the windows at a low elevation and broke the clips on most and broke a few of the white metal rotating part that the tilted with shafts or extension sit in.
I will replace all broken parts and see if the coil assemblies function at this stage.
Thank you again for your help.

Sure thing, Doug. If your springs are in good condition then they can be reused without issue. Tilting the sash in without raising it, like you initially described, shouldn't cause any damage to the spring itself. They should hopefully be fine.

That said if you do end up needing the rest of the assembly, then my recommendation is the Series 140.

How can I tell what length needed?
Do I need to remove a spring assembly to figure that out?
Thanks again for your help.

Are you referring to the Series 140? If so, you really only need to worry about width, thickness, and the stamp printed on the assembly. That stamp represents weight capacity per assembly and will allow you to properly select the right calibration. Length rarely comes into play in my experience.
