Description
Brake Shoe for 1-1/4″ Pocket Constant Force Balance, Side-Locking
This brake shoe is designed for use with windows utilizing a 1-1/4″ (31.8mm) pocket and features a side-locking mechanism. Manufactured by Amesbury Truth Hardware, it is compatible with window systems that require a constant force balance, helping to ensure proper operation and safety when tilting the window in for cleaning or maintenance.
The side-locking brake shoe works by putting pressure on the sides of the window track, securely holding the sash in place during tilt-in operation. This contrasts with back-locking brake shoes, which use a pad on the back to apply pressure. The component is colored white to blend with most common window profiles.
