Window Baluster Replacement

Landlord from Providence, RI
Good afternoon, 
I have a broken window with a metal coil and spring on both sides that isnt working properly.
Looking for some guidance for a replacement part.

Hello, thank you for posting,

It appears that the window uses tilt spiral balances. You could either have the Series 900 that has a 3/8" diameter tube or the Series 600 that has a 5/8 diameter. You will need to measure the diameter and length of the tube to choose the correct series. From the image it appears the outer tube may be missing, I would check the other side or an identical window to see if the tube is still present to get an accurate measurement.

Once you have the series and length needed, match up the colored tip that indicates the strength of the spring that supports the window sash. If the color tip is not matching, you will need to weigh the sash and compare to the strength chart on the product page to choose the correct colored option.
