Window Replacement Parts Needed (I think the manufacturer is Simonton)

Hello,

I have attached three (3) photos showing the types of replacement parts I need for a number of my home windows. The windows are 20 years old, and I believe they were made by Simonton.

I would like to purchase a number of the plastic covers/holders for the balance springs, and also the correct tilt latches. For some of the windows, I have already removed the balance springs as the holders had broken completely.

Can you please let me know if you stock the replacements for these?

Thank you,

Mark

Hi Mark, thanks for writing in. In regards to your tilt latches, I suggest you start by reviewing our 26-243 and 26-244. Be sure to carefully review their dimensions to see if this could be a match. As for the housing for your coil springs, it looks to be a double coil assembly. If this is the case, see our 15-150D!

Hello Julia,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it a double coil assembly. I just measured one that is not broken, it is 4 1/8 inches in length, so it appears the 15-150D is too short.

I will look at the tilt latches next.

Hello Julia,

With regards to the latches, I think the 26-243 and 26-244 ones could be correct. I took careful measurements using calipers, the length is 66 mm and the width is 17 mm. Those measurements are within about 1/2 mm from the conversion from the inches shown in your pictures.

I could use about 10 of them now, and I would expect to be replacing another 10 in upcoming years. I am wondering if I should make a large order of 20 now and if for some reason they don't fit, I assume I can return them? Or maybe I should just order one (1) set now to verify they fit?

Thank you for any suggestions.
