Thanks for contacting us! The shoe on the right and left side of your window can be replaced with the 15-180 Coil Balance Shoe. Be sure to check over the dimensions to confirm.

This shoe is compatible with the Series 190 Coil Balance, which is attached to the shoe using the 33-073 screw. To determine the springs needed to complete your assembly, you'll need to look for any stamps/markings on the metal. If there aren't any, you'll need to obtain the exact weight of the sash and divide it by the total number of coils in the window.

Thank you so much, Jasmine. The coil balance shoe size looks perfect and the sash weight is 19.54LB/each. Which coil balance springs do I need to get? Please advise.

Hello,

Since there is only a total of two coils in the window, you'll need to divide that number by two, as mentioned. That said, I would suggest using the S180-09 Coil Balance. 

Please let me know if you have any other hardware-related questions.

I bought four of the 33-073 screws for 15-180 Coil Balance Shoe but they didn't work. Please see attached picture

Hey there,

This is the screw recommended to secure the coil balance into the shoe. You may need to apply a little force to get it to sit flush with the coil spring. 

The screw is not intended to secure the 15-186 coil balance clip to the assembly. You'll need a longer screw to attach that to the window track. Take a look at the photos you included in your initial inquiry for reference.

Also, the shoe you have in the photo appears to be damaged, you'll need to replace this in addition to replacing the shoe. Otherwise, the other hardware may become damaged much quicker than they should.
