A home owner from Bethlehem, PA says:

I would like to try to get a pair of Caradco C100 spring balances, with a red identified spring, 15-1/2" long (the length of the outer tube).
Can you give me a quote for these?
Picture of what I have is attached.
What outer color would your balance be? Is it paintable?

Hello,
Thank you for posting with a photo. Yes, we can supply a replacement Caradco wood window balance. The tube cover color is white; I would not recommend painting the balance. I will email you a custom ordering link. |

Can you help me with either a catalog or email listing of size options, pricing, and availability. I am a custom wood product manufacturer and homeowner. Thank you, James

Thank you for posting, James! These balances are currently custom ordered. However, before I can send you a link, I will need just a bit more information.
First, can you please tell us the length of your tube in inches? We only need the tube's length, not the length for the whole balance. We will also need to know the color on the spring. Thank you for your cooperation. |

How do I determine the spring color that should be used on a Caradco C100 balance? I cannot determine the color of the spring on the existing balances. Does color code relate to a spring force or window weight?

Yes, the spring color determines the strength of the spring. You will need to pull out the bottom plastic fitting and look at the tip of the spring. It should be painted a certain color.

Sure, we can help out. Please give me the length of the tube (not including fittings). I will also need you to tell me the color of the spring.

I have several old Caradco C100 windows and many need new spring balances. But to start can we get a quote on a tube that is 23 3/4" and is grey. I would need 2.

Actually, we determined before that there is no grey color. You will have to pull down the bottom fitting of the balance to see what color they painted on the spring. Let me know, and make sure to check both balances if the color has worn off!
