Replacement Spiral Balance & Accessories

Question

I am in need of some parts to repair my Gapco windows. I need Spiral Balances, Tilt Latches, and 'Trim' (I'm not sure what this is called, so am calling it Trim until you correct me). Also, I have not been able to remove the 'Trim' so it is unclear to me how or if I can replace this if you have it. All of the Balances are the same length, 29" from the mounting hole to the middle of the pins on the spiral (shown in photo). Please let me know if you carry these and how/if I can replace the 'trim'. I need 10 balances and 5 Tilt latches (assuming they come in pairs, Left and Right).
Thank you!

Hey Greg. The other critical dimension with these tilt window spiral balances is the diameter of the outer tube. Understandably it's going to be difficult to obtain that diameter in your case, as the outer tube is very frayed. If it's 5/8" however, then I think you have the S600-29. This features a Blue Tip option, which is what you require. Let me know what you think.

For your tilt latches, start by reviewing our 26-078 and 26-079. Again, this looks similar, but see if the dimensions match up.

The seal you show is called glazing bead. You will need to work out a sample, perhaps with some needle-nosed pliers, and show us the 'end profile'. It is likely brittle, but do your very best. In the time being you can view our selection here.
