Simonton Window coil balance

Professional from Ashland MO

I am working on a couple of Simonton windows with coil balances. one is a single coil stamped 5 and the other is a dual coil with the lower coil stamped 4 and the upper coil stamped 6.5. Which coil balances should I use?

Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm happy to provide you with a replacement recommendation for the coil balance springs you need, but I'll need to see a photo of the existing shoe to determine the best options. 

Unfortunately, I am not able to identify what you need based on the brand alone. There are a few different coil balance assemblies associated with Simonton window balances.

Feel free to reach out with with any other hardware repair questions you might have in the meantime.

Here are the coil balances. I probably have to replace the shoes since the pivot bars are broken as well.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the photos. The pivot shoe you have can replaced with either the 15-111 Pivot Shoe or the 15-191 Heavy Duty Pivot Shoe. The measurements for both are of the same, the latter is just made of a different material.

These shoes use the 1/2" Thick Series 160 Coil Balance, so you'll need the S160-04, S160-05, and S160-06 springs. To replace the coil covers, you'll need the 15-150S Coil Single Support and the 15-150D Coil Double Support.

The pivot bar typically used with this assembly is the 26-241. Review it to see if this is what you need to complete your repairs.
