Window Balance Replacements

Quick Learner from Burke, VA
Hi!
Any chance you might be able to identify the parts I need to replace these window balances? The shoe is the only thing that's broken off a lot of our windows... I looked back and saw records that they are Simonton Series 5500 windows installed in 2009. If there's a way to just replace the shoe I can do that, or else do you think it's possible to do a replacement of the entire system?

Thanks for any info you might be able to provide!

Hey David. This exact Simonton Coil Balance setup is no longer made, but fortunately we've devised a substitute. You can use the 15-259 Pivot Shoe instead; however it will require replacing the coil springs with the Series 159. The video below explains how to do this. Take a look and let me know what questions you have.
