Coil

Question

Hello. My friend's home in Grenada has a window that won't stay open. I am trying to help him fix it (you've helped me in the past). I took the bottom sash off and took these photos. I am not familiar with this type of mechanism. Does this look like something that can be fixed? Does this need a replacement part? If so, do you have recommendations?

Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out to us, Dona. This is a coil balance assembly. We don't sell an exact match for the pivot shoe but have a look at the 15-199 which uses the 1/2" S160 and 3/8" S165 coil springs. To determine the proper spring weights, you will need to divide the sash weight by the total number of springs in the window.
