Quicktilt series 140

Question

I have to replace the spring coils that hold up my window since they have broke. The only number I can find on them is the number 2. They hold up a 23 pound window. So I bought a 23 pound quick tilt for each side but it appears to be too strong. Was I suppose to divide the 23 in half and buy 12 pounds tilts? My original tilts had 3 coils in it. Is it ok to go with a 2 coil system?

Yes, your best bet would have been the S140-12. In the S140-23 product description, we state that a pair will carry 45 to 46.99 pounds. A pair of S140-12 springs, however, can carry 23 to 24.99 pounds.
