Fix parents broken window

Hi there!

Your pivot bar appears to be an old Simonton brand which leads me to believe this may be a Simonton brand window. If that's the case, I recommend you use our 15-259 pivot shoe and Series 159 coil springs to replace your original setup. We even have a video that will walk you through the installation process. I will also attach another video below that will show you how to remove your hardware from the track using the cut out method.

You could use the 15-192 but this will likely require shaving down the bumps on the face in order for it to fit in the track. Please note, modified items cannot be returned for a refund. 

Certainly! If you're using the 15-259 shoe, you will need the 26-083 for this conversion. 

You can either stick with the original double coil setup or you can switch to a single support; the decision is ultimately yours! If you decide to go with two coils on each side of the window, you can use (1) S159-5 5.5-pound spring and (1) S159-4 4.5-pound spring on both sides of the window. This would total 10 pounds of support on each side for a 20-pound sash. 

If you end up going with a single coil on each side, you can use (1) S159-10 10.5-pound spring on each side of the window which would total 21 pounds of overall support. As long as the coil weights are within a pound of your sash's actual weight, either setup should be fine. Your old support isn't compatible with the Series 159 springs so you would need a new one. See the 15-256 for a double coil support and the 15-255 for a single coil support. 

Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help!
