Simonton Springs and Covers

Home Owner from Akron, Ohio

Hi,

I'm looking to replace springs and plastic covers on my Simonton dimension 1 windows. House was built 2000 and all springs are broken now.

Would you please tell me which parts do I need to order or what other info's do you need from me so you can tell me exact part numbers and the price.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Peter

Hello, Peter. I feel confident that we can supply you with the needed hardware, but the issue is that I can't quite make out what you have from these photos. Before I recommend anything, would it be possible to see a clearer picture of the pivot shoe, without obstruction? Can you also measure the width of the coil's band and tell me what you get?

Hello Tom,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Hope these photos help. I measured the width of the springs and they are 3/8". I'm assuming they are 5 lb each (stamped #5), so two per side. Is it possible to use one 10 lb spring per side instead af two 5 lb?
Also, do I need to replace the pivot shoe also, and pivot bar?
Thank you,
Peter

Thanks! This is a huge help. Your old pivot shoe appears to match our 15-199. Since your springs are 3/8", that means you want our Series 165.

These don't come with a 10 pound option, unfortunately. However two S165-5 springs on each side should work just fine. We also have the 15-204 double spring cover.

You can reuse your old pivot shoe and pivot bar as long as they're in good condition, yes!
