I have an old non-title window that the spring balance is broken. The problem I am having is the bottom of my balance has a flat shoe that is screwed to the bottom of the sash.

I cannot find any that have that part.

Can you help me??

Hello! We absolutely can help. Can you send a photo of the shoe screwed to the bottom of the sash, so we can get a sense for the problem you're dealing with?

I need a spring balance 27" long, 3/8" and Red with the following shoe.

As you can see the part of the shoe has broken off, it screws into the bottom of the sash.

Can you confirm the diameter of the outer tube? Yours looks larger than 3/8".

I believe you have a bracket like our 15-172 attached to a 5/8" diameter Series 600 spiral balance. If so, this will need to be specially made for you. I just need to know how many you need. Once I know the quantity, I'll send you a special order link and price quote.
