Hi, I am looking to replace the balancers of the bottom sash of my Simonton 44x65 Window. I'd like to order them if possible, rather than replacing the entire window. I found a sticker on the window which says "Series: 40-17 Double Hung. Attached are the pictures I was able to take. Kindly assist if possible. Thx. BM

Looks like you have the old Simonton brand coil balance assembly. They no longer made this, but we offer a more modern replacement that I think works just as well. I actually think it works a little better, since it's not prone to breaking in half like your old one is.
The video below will go into more detail. This will explain exactly what parts you need to buy and how you can install them in your window. Just note that you will need the exact weight of your sash on hand in order to calculate the proper spring strength. You want to divide that weight by how many springs support the sash, then pick accordingly.
