Identifying broken spiral balances and pivot lock shoes
I'm hoping you can help me appropriately identify the part pieces needed, mainly the pivot lock shoes, so I can replace them and the spiral balances. A little bit of information - the windows in question are vinyl double hung MW windows. The spiral balances are 26" long (tube measurement) at 3/8" diameter. The tip on them is white when I extend the spiral out. Please let me know what other information you need on the pivot lock shoes and I'll be happy to provide it. Thank you!
Hello,
Your original pivot shoe was discontinued, but we often suggest the 15-118 as a replacement. The determining factor would be how the width and thickness measurements compare to your shoe.
As for the balances, we offer the (3/8") S900-26, but make sure to confirm you are measuring an intact piece of the plastic cover, not the internal metal component. If the outer tube measures 5/8" in diameter, see the S600-26. There is a chart on the product page that explains how to choose your option based on the weight of the sash the balances support. Thank you!
Thanks again!
