pivot bar replacement

Question

I could not find a match for our L-shaped pivot bar (see uploaded photo of an unbroken one). The closest is 26-402 where the length is 1.25 in rather than 1.50 in. Installing that with the given screw holes would put the window higher by 0.25 in and prevent locking. Making new screw holes in the window is the only way?

Hello,

I agree with their analysis that, since we don't carry a pivot bar that has the same hole spacing as yours, drilling new mounting holes would be your best bet.

Keep in mind that you don't want to drill too deep or you'll risk hitting the glass. Also, please note that the actual pivot tip is 21/32" long. I fear that might be too short, so it would be a good idea to check that measurement just to be safe

Otherwise, I think the 26-402 is a promising option even though it will just take some handiwork to install.
