Hello
We have white vinyl double hung windows and need to replace some broken coiled constant force sprng balances. Please help us to identify which part number we need to order from your company. Also do u have any retail store in Jersey city or new York city OR is it only online store ?
We would greatly appreciate your kind response.
Our windows spring balance looks similar to the ones shown in the pictures
Thank you
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad. This looks like our 15-087 Pivot Shoe. This is compatible with our Series 180 Coil Balances. Look for a stamp code on the coil spring; this will indicate the spring weight you need. If there is none, or you are uncertain, weigh your window sash. Give us that exact weight, and we'll work out what you need. We are only an online retail store. Let us know if you have any other questions. |

one more question is there any way to determine the approximate weight of a double hung white vinyl window WITHOUT taking them out of the frame ??
Like any special mathematical formula ??
(I already the weight of the bedroom & bathroom windows ( by looking at the broken spring BUT some windows in the kitchen and living /dinning room are of different sizes some are bigger than the bedroom windows ( #7 spring) and some bigger than the bathroom windows ( 4 lbs ( but smaller than bedroom windows ( # 7 lbs)
Would greatly appreciate your kind help because I want to order extra coiled springs for all the windows

Hi Mohammad. Unfortunately the only reliable way to know the weight of the window sash is to remove each one and weigh it on a bathroom scale. You can also place a scale on the window sill and slowly roller the sash onto the scale; this isn't as ideal but it's still better than nothing so long as you are precise as possible. From there, we can help determine the coil spring weights you need. |
