75-006 Spiral Balance Charging Tool for Tilt Windows

To whom this may concern, I went to a Home Depot and they told me this was a Simonton window part. They could not order this part in and told me about you guys. I need a replacement "balance" for the other side of a window, in order for the window to stay open. Thanks, Greg

I measured my parts and the shoe has the same dimensions as your 15-219. The top of the shoe looks like it has 2 locations for the "T-nose" of the spring ... but they look like they are not centered on the shoe. Is that ok? The spring I have has a single "t-nose". The pivot bar that I have is 3 ... (cont.)

I have located all the parts I think I need except for these pivot shoes for my spring balances. Help!

I'm looking to replace the entire balance, pivot bars and pivot shoes on two windows in my home. The window jamb does not have cut outs to easily remove the pivot shoes but I'm concerned the vinyl/plastic components to the jamb will snap if I attempt to use the jamb spreaders. Do you have any sugges ... (cont.)

Are the spiral balances a good replacement for old coil spring balances? I would like the finish of the exposed portion to be white. Thanks Steve M

The photos do not indicate the overall dimensions very well. As best I can tell the shoes are 2 inches high by 3/8 inch thick by 1 inch wide. It was hard to really accurately measure the width. Hopefully 1inch will fit without being too tight. It looks like your part number 15-045 will work but I wo ... (cont.)

The piece I need is 2 1/8

I'm pretty confident what I need to order - 17", blue tip for a tilt sash. The question really is why the existing spiral balance rods are broken and what these new ones will fix. Right now, the spiral rod, the tip, and the spring all come out of the tube freely; there's nothing that keeps the tip ... (cont.)

I am looking for replacements for a MW window. Pivot lock shoe with markings 590csb on it. It is appoximately 2 1/4 long, 1 3/8 wide, 5/8 thick, all give or take 1/16. I plan to use your 26-366 pivot bar with them. Thank you.

Hi. I need to replace a spiral balance for the upper sash of a double hung tilt window. I watched your video "How to Replace a Tilt Window Spiral Balance." With the upper sash removed, the pivot shoe is high in the jamb, right next to the end of the balance. It seems that I would not need to pul ... (cont.)

I'm looking for that type of balancing channel, not even Shute if that's the name for it, it's rounded and for a double hung windows, very old.

I am trying to order window balances. My balance rod measures 25 1/2 inches. Do I go with a 26" or a 25" replacement? Mine is a 3/8" Tilt tube - with a white casing. They are for a double hung, double pain, tilt vinyl window.

Hello, I am looking for a part for what I believe is a Patriot window. The window was installed in 1998 or 1999 and is a vinyl tilt window. The part that keeps the balance rod in place broke and I would like to install a new one. I attached photos of both sides of the part. The part is approx. 1- ... (cont.)

Hello, the windows in a house I purchased won't stay open (21 of them!). I disassembled one of them and the pivot blocks are shot - spiral balances seem to be ok. Can you tell from the pictures if you have replacement pivot blocks? Also, the spiral balance for this window is: 34" long; 3/8" diam ... (cont.)

Home was built in 2002 and all the windows have this pivot lock shoe. Vinyl material. Any help would be appreciated. Suitable functioning substitute, would be great also...

I need special 5/8" diameter spiral balances. I believe they were red. From what I understand this is insufficient for a 50lb window. The scale I used could be off a pound or two, I would err up a little. The windows are 48" X 48" aluminium. Most if not all have broken balances. The tube lenght ... (cont.)
