Parts needed for Simonton vinyl windows

Contractor from Charlotte, NC

Hello!

I'm looking for a few things for these 1995 Simonton's, and I have the original sales order if that's helpful too.

This is a double window, single hung. I need springs for both lower sashes (both sets appear to be broken/sprung). The shoes look fine to me but you can be the judge. I also want new tilt latches (4 of them).

For whatever reason my 4 photos won't upload, but I assume I could send them in an email. Thank you!

Hey Dom. Sorry that our website wouldn't upload your photos. Yes, you can email them to us at help@swisco.com. Please be sure to include your discussion ID number D325675 so we know what discussion to reference. If the parts are removed from the window, that would be all the better. We'll do our best to assist you from there. Thanks for bearing with us.

Thanks, these photos are a huge help! Starting with your tilt latches, I recommend the 26-243 and 26-244. These appear to match your originals quite well, but make sure to check our dimensions before you buy anything to ensure that everything matches.

For your balance springs, you have either the 3/8" Series 165 or the 1/2" Series 160. You'll need to measure the originals to verify the better option. Also note that you'll need the stamp printed on the old springs to confirm the proper weight calibration, so you will need to remove them before you buy anything.

If your shoe is undamaged, you can continue to use it with the new springs without issue.

Bob - thanks very much!
For the spring balances when you say to check if it's either 1/2" or 3/8", are you talking about the channel they're mounted in? So like the width of the spring (when viewed from the side, NOT like the view as shown in the photo)?

I'm specifically referring to the width of the band. You definitely want to measure the spring itself, not the channel, since that won't be accurate. The channel is usually fractionally larger to allow space for the cover.
