I need to buy the spring and the plastic part with the hole that holds the sash to travel in the rails for this window. The windows have been in the house since 1995 and there are no markings to identify them. Thank you!
Best wishes, Rajiv

Hey Rajiv. I believe you're looking for the 15-104 Caradco Friction Shoe. Just make sure your old shoe matches the dimensions shown below. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you Bob for the very swift response. I also need to replace the spring. Do I need to measure the length?

The spring is unfortunately not something that we sell. The problem with these is that the spring is part of the jamb liner, which is itself the "balance" for this window type. If your spring is broken, then you need an all new jamb liner, which we don't sell.

If this is a wood window, then your best bet is to contact a local mill work. If they still make wood windows (not always a guarantee) then they may be able to set you up with new jamb liners.
