Balance for Bathroom Window

Hello! this part is called a coil balance. We sell a ton of different varieties, and I'm confident that we have something that can work for you, but before I recommend anything I'll need to see a clear picture of the pivot shoe. Would that be possible? Can you also tell me the width of the coil band?

It should be noted now that most of our coil balance parts are sold as individual components, not complete assemblies. For example, the spring, shoe, and cover are usually all sold separately. The benefit of this is that you only need to replace what's broken. Your next step is to look over your parts and determine what's actually broken and what can be reused.

Perfect, thank you! This is precisely the information I needed.

Based on the design of your shoe and the size of your coil, I recommend our 15-111 and Series 160, respectively. Your next step is to look at the band of the spring itself, near the end, to see if there is a weight indicator. That will tell you which Series 160 option to order.

As for the cover itself, see our 15-150S.

If there is no stamp on the spring, then you need to weigh your sash. Don't buy every spring until you get the right one, that would just be a waste of money. It will be faster and easier to remove the sash from the window, weigh it, and then divide that weight by how many springs support it. In your case, that number is 2.

So, for example, if your sash weight was 11 pounds, then you would divide that by 2 and get 5.5. That would be our S160-5, which carries 5.5 pounds per spring.

Doing it that way ensures that you don't have to guess and you can be confident that the hardware you're buying is correct.

Our S160-3 should be perfectly sufficient, then. These carry 3.5 pounds each each, so having one on each side of the window gives you 7 pounds of support. I don't think you'll miss that half pound's worth of difference.

All pricing information can be found on each product's respective store page. You can place an order on our site at your convenience.

Please let me know if you had any other questions and I'd be happy to assist you.

No, these coil balances are non-handed, meaning they can work on either the left or right hand side interchangeably.

Sure, I'd be happy to help with this window. Aside from size, can you verify that the hardware used is the same? The sticker in this photo unfortunately doesn't tell me anything.

Assuming that it's all the same kind of hardware, then using one S160-9 on either side will be perfectly sufficient for an 18 pound sash. 

As for the latch, I'm afraid I don't know what it could be. I need clear photos of it in order to make a recommendation.

Thanks for these photos, they're a huge help.

That tilt latch looks like a match for our 26-243. We also sell the 26-244 for the opposite side, if you needed it. Review the dimensions we show on their store page to verify. We do have a replacement video for these, which you can see below. You will need tools to remove these, there's no way to avoid that. If you aren't comfortable doing it yourself then you should seek the aid of a local professional to do it for you.
