Balance parts

Question

Hello,
We have a 34 x 86 inch triple glass window with double 8 - 3/4 inch constant force balances - they don’t hold up - is there a spiral balance shoe that would fit in the same slotnthatnwencan either use a double black tip spiral balance or possibly an Ultra Lift balance - the typical spiral shoes mostly fit the slot for 1/2 inch constant force -
The constant force balance is 7/8 thick x 1 3/16 wide -
The spiral balance shoe I have is 9/16 thick x 1 3/16 wide - if there was a spiral balance shoe 7/8 thick x 1 3/16 wide - it would work with a spiral balance -

Hello,

Your coil balance assembly looks like a match to the S210-12 shown below.

We do not carry an exact match for your spiral balance pivot shoe but the 15-129 is a similar design. I'd recommend double-checkign the width of both parts to confirm if our 1-1/4" wide shoes would fit in your window jamb. I see that your spiral balance shoe is narrower on the bottom, so make sure to measure the widest part of the shoe.

If you need replacement spiral balances as well, we would need to see photos of the originals to compare to our inventory, including the length and diameter of the housing tube. Thank you!
