pivot shoes

Thanks for posting. I don't believe the shoes you picked out will work, none of them appear to match what you have. I understand what you mean when you say you want the window to lift out of the cam easily, but we do not recommend swapping pivot shoes. Every different type of pivot shoe has little details that make them function in different ways, compatible with only certain other parts.

You shouldn't have to unscrew your pivot bar, though. It is possible to remove the sash by just twisting it out. That's really all you need to do; it's just as easy as removing the sash for the other shoes you mentioned. I will post a video at the end of this post that should help.

As for your hardware, judging by your dimensions and picture, our 15-118 appears to be our best match. It also matches your shoe's style. The center cam can accept a pivot bar that is 5/16" x 3/16", which is very close to your measurements. Specifically, the 15-118 is compatible with our 26-040. Look these parts over and see what you think.

Thank you for the praise, Jean! And for the order, of course. If you ever need anything else, we're happy to help.
