Balance replacement in atrium tilt windows

Question

I am trying to identify the correct balance and order the necessary parts to repair a few of my atrium tilt windows.

How do i identify the correct one and then make sure that i order all necessary parts to install including pivot shoes and other parts

It looks like you have a tilt window spiral balance. That means you only have two options for the balance: either the 9/16" diameter Series 600 or 3/8" diameter Series 900. You have to measure the diameter of your outer tube to confirm which one to go with.

As for the other parts, that depends. Both balances mentioned are compatible with a ton of different pivot shoes and other parts. The only way to know what you need is to carefully examine and measure each one. You have to go by their physical design, and then compare what you have to the replacement parts in our catalog. We list detailed dimensions for each product in our inventory.

If you can't find what you need, then you need to show us a clear picture of each part you want to replace. We need to see an undamaged version out of the window, just like you showed your balance. We will also need detailed dimensions. We have to go through them one at a time.
