Hi
I'm looking to replace some spring balances on some windows, and possible upgrade to something more contemporary
The spring balances have a plastic hook mechanism at the top and bottom. At the bottom there is a string section which hooks to a plastic trap shoe.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Windows are tilt in double hung 33x68

Hello!
This rod-style balance isn't made anymore but the modern Series 775 can replace it. To determine the length of your replacements, you'll want to measure the full length of the rod, including the plastic "caps" at the ends of your balance. Just make sure not to include the shoe in the length measurement. You will also need to weigh the window sash and refer to the chart under the product description on the S775 store page which will tell you what strength option is best based on the weight.
