Unknown window balance coil

Question

Hi,
I need to replace a couple of these window balance coils on windows which I am not sure of the original manufacture. Only marking on them has 15 but I don't think the window weights around 30lbs, plus this is a single coil. Also, only the metal shoe is broken at the bottom of these, can only those be replaced?

Hello,

Unfortunately, the metal cam of the pivot shoe is not available separately but your photo resembles the 15-175 pivot shoe, which is compatible with the Series 152 coil springs.

If you're not sure which strength option to choose for your coil springs, I would recommend weighing your sash and dividing the weight by two. That will give you the strength option needed to support your sash. Thank you!
