Partriot Window Hardware

Question

I have Patriot Windows installed 2004. These spring balance units sometimes come loose from the windows. I have found out how to reinstall the spring balance fro your video. thanks. However, I would like to look at a couple of replacement units because some of the windows are very difficult to raise, so I suspect the springs are either corroded and don't function. I guess that begs the question; is there some way these spring units can be lubricated to free up the up and down movement of the windows.

I have sent you three photos of the spring balance units, so hopefully from these you can identify the parts.
Regards, Bill F

Hi, Bill. It's entirely possible that the balance springs are corroded or worn out, which could explain your problem. Try 3-In-One Oil on the springs to see if that helps, and if not, replace your balance with our Series 795 balance system. Let me know if you need more help!
