Simonton Window Hardware needed

Home Owner from Michigan
Simonton H-R35 single hung windows; all balances, shoes and latches require replacement in our home. (most still okay but will replace all anyway due to age) First photos are of the latches - third is intact balance and fourth is two balances/shoes on a paper plate after I removed them. Want to confirm Swisco has comparable replacement parts; and would then like to purchase for one window and install before ordering remaining number needed. Please confirm if you have comparable hardware. Also is the pivot bar part of the sash? (The balances removed in above photo also had broken pivot bars inside the sash. I put window back into place without them for now. Thank you!

Hi there!

For your tilt latches, start by looking at our 26-243 and 26-244. Compare our dimensions to yours and see how they match up. 

I can only see the back of your pivot shoe, could you upload another picture of your pivot shoe turned over so that I can see the front of it? I would like to know it's thickness and width as well. 

Thank you!

Your pivot shoe resembles our 15-199 which is used with the Series 160 and Series 165 coil springs. Carefully look over our dimensions and compare them to your current hardware to see if this matches up. 

To choose the appropriate weight for your coils, you'll need to remove and weigh your window sash and divide the precise weight by the number of coils on each side of the window. 

For example, if you had four springs total (two on each side) and a 12 pound sash, you would want four 3 pound springs.

If you have any further questions just let us know.
