5.5 Coil Window Parts

Hello, Danny. Looks like you need all new coil balances. I'm very confident that we can offer a good match, but we'll need a bit more information.

First, can you tell me the thickness of the coil itself?

Next, can you show me a photo of the pivot shoe to which this part attaches? 

With that information, I should be able to determine what you need to repair your window.

Perfect! In that case, I recommend our S160-5 coil spring. This carries 5.5 pounds per spring, which appears to match the stamp on your old one, and it is fully compatible with our 15-111. The design of the hole is a little different but I don't think that will come into play, as long as you don't mix and match old springs.

Oh, one last thing. It's a little tough to make out but it looks like your old spring is stamped with '64" '. This indicates a travel of 64", which is not a size they make anymore. All of our coil springs, S160-5 included, have a travel of 35".

This might matter, depending on whether your coils are installed at the top of the track. When you install the new springs for the first time, close the window very slowly and gently to make sure that you have the travel necessary to close it all the way. If you can, great, no worries. If you find it hangs up, though, then you'll have to lower the position of the springs to make up for the difference in travel.

Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
