Hello, thank you for posting,

We do not carry your exact shoe, but we recommend reviewing the 17/32" thick 15-199 as a potential replacement option. Compare the dimensions below to confirm a good fit!

This shoe is compatible with either the 3/8" thick Series 165 or the 1/2" thick Series 160 coil springs. Can you confirm the thickness of your original coils to move forward? Thank you!

Hi, the thickness is 3/8". And I measured the shoe, very close to the dimension 15-199 as you described. The window itself is around 11kg ~24lbs. If that matters. Thx

Thank you,

For a 3/8" coil spring, you would need the Series 165 coil springs. Your original coils appear to be stamped with #5.0s which would be the S165-5 coil spring along with the 15-205 triple support cover. 

My only concern is the window weight provided.

With three 5s on each side, these springs together would support a 30 pound window sash. Was the window hard to close or felt a lot of tension?

For a 24 pound sash, we would recommend using (2) S165-6 coil springs on each side instead along with the 15-204 double support cover. 

Please review and let me know if you have any questions!
