simonton shoe

Quick Learner from New Galilee Pa
I am attaching photo's of my simonton windows parts that have a problem. Can you guide me on the parts I will need for the shoe? Also my tracks have a cutout but it is far from easy to pop out the spring assembly that connect to the shoe.

Thank you!

This old Simonton pivot shoe isn't made anymore, but you can use the 15-192 as a substitute. Just make sure to hold onto your original for now; there are some instances where it's necessary to reuse the center metal cam from the original. Not always, but sometimes. Just don't throw out your shoe for now and you'll be fine.

Getting these shoes out of the cutout can be a hassle, but that's the best method. If you find it too difficult you can always make the cutout a little wider, but don't go too crazy. You don't want it to interfere with the function of the window.

When will the parts be available again and do I need the spreaders for the install?

Thanks!

We unfortunately don't have a definite ETA for the 15-192 due to the public health crisis. We are trying our best to get it back as soon as possible but everything is delayed with all that's going on. I apologize for the inconvenience.

If you don't already have a cutout at the top of your track, you can make one yourself. I prefer doing this instead of getting jamb liners, since that's a big investment for just one project.
