Hi, I'm looking for a tilt window pivot lock shoe.
The dimension I'm looking for is 1/2 inch think, 1 inch wide, and 2 inches long.
The length probably doesn't matter much but the thinkness and width needs to match the window.
I looked through your catalog but didn't seem to find a match. Could you help?
Thanks,
-Dara

Hi Dara. Could you send us photos of your old pivot shoe? Preferably removed from the window? That will narrow it down, thanks.

Hi Bob, here are three pictures of the pivot lock show from different angle. I couldn't take it out of the window without cutting through the plastic housing. The picture shown is from a working pivot lock shoe, I need to replace on that is rusted and not work well. Thanks.

Hello again. Without removing the pivot shoe from the window it's impossible to get accurate measurements. The 15-173 is the closest shoe we have based on what you think the measurements might be; but it would not surprise me if this shoe is actually 1-1/4" wide, and therefore something like the 15-046 is right. Note too that the height of pivot shoes is irrelevant--just the width and thickness matter. The video below shows how to remove and replace these shoes via forming a 'cutout'.
