Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us. It looks like your balance uses a locking terminal shoe like our 15-233 which leads me to believe you have the Series 751. However, I recommend you remove your old shoe to confirm the 15-233 is what you have. If it is, this would have to be a custom order since we don't have a stock balance that uses this shoe. Just in case this indeed needs to be a custom order, can you show us a photo of the stamp on the metal channel? And how many balances are you looking to replace? |
Hello,
I took the window apart. As you can see from the pictures, the pulley that connects to the spring broke and doesn't look it can be repaired. Can I replace the whole channel and pulley balance?
The window is Marvin Double hung 36 inches tall over 36 inches tall, 42 inches wide. Installed 1993 when house was built.
I will need to repair two windows, replacing the balances on both sides.
Thanks
Bruce

That's a good question! If your jamb liner does not have a screw-in trim on the interior that holds the jamb in, then there are a few possibilities. The first is that these are pressure-fit, meaning they're only held in by the sash itself. A lot of Andersen and Pella brand windows work this way and in those cases, you would have to kind of half pry, half shimmy them out of place. In a worst-case scenario, the jamb liners are not technically meant to be removed. A lot of window types require the installers to drop the jamb into it from above for a permanent installation. Of course, it's not really permanent, but it does complicate your project by quite a bit. You will need to partially disassemble the window frame in order to lift the jamb liner up and out of place. |
