How to tell if your window balance is bad or if the shoe is bad or if both are bad.
So the window will not stay up. I assume the balance has no tension on it because they stay extended and they also do not stay connected to the shoe. So as stated in the subject, how can you tell if the shoe, balance, or both are bad? Thank you, Dale

Custom spiral balance
I'm fabricating some large windows (57" or 58" sashes) and I want to use spiral balances. I'm not totally sold on spirals, but I want something to lift the window fully, as the windows will be fully lifted for most of their use, and they need to stand up. I can get an estimate of the weight and the ... (cont.)

This is what I know about the original parts.....they appear to be the 400 series with the 3/8"diameter, 26" long and the window itself weighs around 26 pounds. The clips are like the # 13 ones on your webpage. It's interesting how they mounted the # 13 clips to a 1/4" thick removable nylon "gli ... (cont.)
