Balance shoe on wood double hung window

Home Owner from Knoxville TN

I am looking to replace the attached balance shoe all my windows. I count 37 windows. All windows are double hung so 4 springs per window. I would need a total of 148 individual balance shoe replacements. I would like need to replace the weather stripping too. The home was custom built in 1998.

Can you let me know if you have the appropriate parts?

Thanks,

Andy

Hello, Andy. We do sell the friction shoe, which is our 15-104, but the springs are unfortunately not something we can offer. That's technically part of the jamb liner, so those are what you'll need to replace. My suggestion for that would be to contact the original manufacturer.

We may be able to assist with the weatherstripping, but I'll need you to remove an undamaged sample of the original and show me a clear shot of the end profile. Would that be possible? The video below will clarify what I mean.
