repalcement shoe

Question

I am trying to find the replacement shoe in the picture. I am guessing it is more of a compression shoe since i do not have any balances that connect to it. none of my windows have a balance bar. I also understand i will end up needing a Spreader bar to remove and install a new one since i do not have any cut outs in my window track. thanks for your help in trying to identify the part.

Thanks for writing in. This pivot shoe looks like it might be our 15-191, though I can't say for sure without seeing it out of the window track. Now, this pivot shoe doesn't interface with channel balances or spiral balances, but rather coil balances: specifically, our Series 160 Coil Balance System. If you need to replace your balances, weigh your window sash. Give us that exact weight and we can tell you what you need.

There is an alternative method to removing pivot shoes without having a cutout. See the videos below.
