Tilt shoes and brackets for channel balances are critical hardware components used in tilt window systems to secure the sash, support its movement, and connect the balance mechanisms to the window frame. These replacement parts ensure windows open and close smoothly, safely holding the sash at any position without slipping or slamming shut. Designed for double-hung and tilt window applications, they provide reliable performance in residential and commercial settings.

What Are Tilt Shoes and Brackets?

Tilt shoes, also called pivot lock shoes or sash guides, fit into the track of the window frame and interact directly with the channel balance system. The channel balance contains internal springs and pulleys that counterbalance the window sash's weight, making it easier to operate. Brackets, such as top and bottom shoe brackets, are used to attach the balance system securely to the window frame, ensuring all hardware is properly anchored for long-term operation.
