Have 15 single hung aluminum windows that are all messed up, balances and tackle are in bad shape and broken. Desperately need parts to make windows function again. They are in various stages of not sliding well and I thing replacing these parts will give it new life. The only part number I could find stamped in the metal was 15D. Thank you so much for your help, Jeanie

Hi, Jeanie!

It looks like you have either our S351-16, with a 15-002 bottom attachment, or S390-16, with a 15-001 bottom attachment. Take a look at the image below to determine which balance you'll need. Based on your 15D stamp, you'll need the 1540 strength option for your replacement balances. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!! I had several window companies come to my house and the cost for them to fix my windows - which I might add are otherwise in fantastic shape, was in excess of $400 per window! I simply cannot afford that. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Emily,
You are the best!!! I have shared this website with all my neighbors and my friends who are realtors and always having to have clients repair or replace windows! I am so excited that there are still companies out there that provide resources for homeowners to turn to!

Best to you!
