We have Home Depot windows we bought in 2007. I believe they are Simonton 6500. See picture for the broken balance. I see the parts for replacement but since it is two coils how do I do weight for coils. I assume I weigh the window and decide weight by 4 for two coils on each side

Thanks for posting. This old Simonton Coil Balance system is no longer made, but our 15-259 Pivot Shoe and Series 159 Coil Balance springs can work as a substitute. The video below shows how.
