Replaced Window Balances

Question

Hello,

My replacement window is no longer staying open. I believe I need to replace both window balances on my Gorell G5105 windows. No idea what window balance I need. I've included pictures.

Thank You,
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thanks for posting! Your coil balance housing looks like it could be the 15-087 Coil Housing Pivot. To confirm, you'll need to remove it and carefully compare the dimensions shown below.

Detail of 15-087

This coil housing is compatible with the Series 180 Coil Balance anchored to the window channel using the 16-024 Mounting Bracket. To determine which spring is needed for your housing, you'll need to look for any stamps/marking on the metal coil.

If there are no stamps/markings or they cannot be read and/or cross-referenced, you'll need to obtain the exact weight of the sash. You'll then take the sash weight and divide it by the total number of coils in the window.
