Hello,
I am looking to replace some spiral balances. This is the first window i am attempting; i will have two others (of a different size). The old window bottom sash is about 24" high (longest side). The old spiral balance mounting brackets were in the 5/16" wide channel in the sash, and there was 22" between brackets. The only 'external to the channel' part of the mounting was a bracket that extended about 1" above the channel/lower sash, where a screw secured it to the jamb just above the lower sash when the window was closed. This bracket can be seen in the second photo; i bent everything quite a bit when trying to remove it (not knowing exactly how to do that. The sash weighs about 9 lbs (without the old balances). Can you please advise replacement spiral balances and the hardware i will need to complete a replacement project?
Thanks very much! Al

Hi, Al! We don't carry your exact hardware but you can use our Series 500 and 17-012 bracket, which is sold separately. We've been using this combination as a solution for wood windows like yours for years and years and we find that it works great. See what you think! |
