I have Gorell 5300 series double hung windows that I need to replace the springs and pivot shoes, will this spreader work or do I need to cut the frame? I would like to remove one so I can see if there are any part numbers on the springs and shoes to make sure I order the correct items.
Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for posting. If your window is made from vinyl, the jamb spreaders should work. Although, the cutout method may make future repairs a bit easier in the long run, depending on the exact hardware installed in the window.
Are you able to provide photos of the balance assembly? I'm happy to take a look at what you have and confirm the replacements you'll need.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
