I need to purchase some replacement parts but I cant identify the window manufacturer or part numbers needed. The balance blocks and cams need to be replaced in several windows and I need to replace several top latches.

Also do you have video or tutorial on how to replace the parts inside the frame?

The white top tilt latches look like our 26-243 and 26-244. Please compare the dimensions, and go over our media guide on replacing tilt latches. I placed it on the right hand side of the page for you. The pivot shoe with a metal center cam is our 15-175, and it uses Series 152 coil springs. The spring is marked with a number that tells you which coil from the Series you need.

Thank you very much. You were dead on with the part numbers. After watching the video I was able to take everything apart and put it back together and check the parts.

The parts came and worked perfect. I had one question. The old parts seem to have some lubrication on them. Should the new parts be lubricated in any way?

You can use silicone spray if you want to lubricate. It will keep the track clean, whereas an oil-based lubricant would catch dirt. Silicone is safe.
