older windows, no names to identify type

Question

so i have a couple parts i need to identify.  I need to purchase about 20 spiral balances which i have identified what i need.  But what i can't figure out is what type of latch set i would need as these just slide into the top of the tilt window.  I also need to know if i can upgrade my lock shoes, most of them are rusting out and do not work anymore so i will need to purchase all new shoes as well.  The current ones in the pic are fixed and you have to unscrew a metal bar fixed inside the window as they do not pivot out.  I would much prefer a pivot shoe.  thanks in advance for your help

You may be looking for a tilt latch like our 2-5/8" long 26-419 and 26-420 or 26-243 and 26-244 but you'll need to compare all of the dimensions on both product pages to see which latch pair will work for you.

As for your pivot shoes, we would need to see a photo of the original shoe removed from the window, as well as the width and thickness to compare to our selection. Though your pivot bars seem to be in much worse shape. To identify replacement pivot bars, we'll need to see an undamaged one removed from the sash as well. Thank you!
