Guides

A quick learner from Long Beach, CA says:

I'm looking for some replacement guides for some old Superior Windows. As Superior is no longer in business, I'm having trouble finding them, or anything close. attached are 2 pictures of what I need, along with dimensions. The top is 7/8 X 7/8. The small extension tab is not necessary. As you can see, the hole is side specific, but if I can find one that has a slot, the it can be used on either side of the window.

Thank You,

bob

Hi Bob, thank you for posting,

Unfortunately we were not able to find an exact match for this top sash guide. We came up with a possible substitution, the 18-203. The mounting hole will need to be drilled, since it doesn't match the height of the original hole. Take a look at the overall style and dimensions to see if you think this guide could be adapted to your window. Let us know what you think!

Paul,
Thank you for your quick response. I have looked at the #18-203 and feel that I can adapt it for my use (at least I'll be no worse off if it doesn't work). I have submited an order for them and am looking forward to trying them.
Thanks again,
bob
