Spiral Tilt Window Balance

A quick learner from NYC says:
Good Morning

I'm trying to replace the spiral tilt window balance on my windows. The old balance doesn't have any color tips as it shown on your product. How do I decide which color should I buy?

Thanks

Hi, good question. If the spiral balance doesn't have a color tip, you'll need to weigh the window sash to determine the weight range it falls into. Just remove the bottom sash and place it on a regular bathroom scale. Let me know if you have any extra questions.
