spiral balance lock shoe replacement

Question

I'm currently trying to locate and purchase (4) new spiral rod balance locking shoes. My balance rods are 3/8"dia. x 29"L white tip. None of the local window companies in my county, Brevard, Cocoa, FL has any of the old type lock shoes or can locate any. I have attached pictures of one of the old shoes next to ruler for measurement purposes. I hope you can help me locate a source to purchase 4 of these.

I have Milco single hung dual pane aluminum windows that are 26yrs old. Thank you,

Paul

Your pivot shoe was discontinued years ago, which would explain why you haven't found it all this time. I don't think an exact match was ever made, but I'd say the closest option in our inventory would be the 15-134. Look it over and let me know if you agree.
