Siminton window coil shoe broken

Handy Person
My window coil balance shoes are broken and I need replacement parts. I found a similar post on your website that directs to the series 159 coil balance, but I don't have a balance weight stamp on the old coil. Each sash weighs 18 pounds. Thank you!

Hello there. Yes, this old Simonton Coil Balance system is no longer made, but our 15-259 Pivot Shoe and Series 159 Coil Balance springs can replace it. The video below explains how. If the window sash weighs exactly 18 pounds, use the S159-05 5.5 pound spring and S159-03 3.5 pound spring, one for each side of the sash. This will give you 9 pounds of support on either side of the sash, to equal 18 pounds of overall support. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you so much for the quick response! To clarify, I need both the 5.5 and 3.5 coils on each side, for a total of four coils per sash. Is that correct?

Correct! That will give you 9 pounds of support on both sides of the sash, for a total weight support of 18 pounds, which matches the sash weight. Let us know if you have further questions.
