Coil Spring hardware

Question

I have 4 windows in my house of various sizes that have various problems in the coil springs. I disassembled one of the larger windows to determine the issue, and found that the coil foot on this one is definitely broken. I glanced at a few others, and believe this is the issue in all 4 windows.

I am presuming all of the feet are the same. There were different amounts of coils in different windows, but they all appeared to be the same type.

Ideally I would just replace the feet, but don't see any that match my coil types. Any suggestions?

Hi Wade. This looks like our 15-177 Pivot Shoe. Now, this shoe is compatible with our Series 152 Coil Springs. Your coil springs are an older style that isn't made anymore. They simply fold at the tips, whereas the Series 152 are meant to be fastened to the pivot shoe. If your old springs are undamaged, you could certainly re-use them with the 15-177, but I should note that the Series 152 design is a bit more secure, so it may be to your benefit to update your whole system. Let us know what you think.
