Balances that use 15-027

Thanks for reaching out to us. We can supply this balance, but you should know right away that these are a little complicated. None of our stock options can replace it, but we can custom make you an assembly here in our shop that will work in the same capacity.

Before we go into it any further, I'll need you to verify some information.

To start, these windows use what I call an "asymmetric balance system," meaning that the balance on the left side of the window is going to be different than the balance on the right side. They will have different plastic fittings on the top and bottom and will additionally have different stamps printed on the metal channel.

I see in your photos above that you have two identical balances, which is concerning. Can you tell me if these came off the same window, or from two different windows? If they came off the same window, have you ever experienced any issues with how it operates? Has it ever been difficult to open or close, or has it made a lot of noise?

If these are from different windows, then that means they have an asymmetric partner on the opposite side. In each case, I'll require a clear photo of the top end, bottom end, and stamp.

Please also tell me how many of each side you need, since we'll need a quantity count before we can proceed.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I thought that might be the case.

In that case, I'm goin to need you to remove the balance on the other side of the window, as well, and show me some photos of that one. I specifically need to see the top end, bottom end, and the stamp.

Secondly, regarding the balance that you already removed, can you show me a picture of the top end for that, as well? It's currently not shown in your photos and we will have to see that before we proceed.

Lastly, can you give me a precise count for how many of each side you need?

This information is very helpful, thank you!

Starting with the balances, I have everything I need to get started. I will email you a custom order link and price quote that you can use to add these to your cart. That way you can checkout with all of the requested parts at one time. I will describe here exactly how we'll make them:

• 2x 27" long balance with a 19-008 top and 15-025 bottom fitting, with a 2630 stamp
• 2x 26" long balance with a 19-008 top and NO bottom fitting, with a 2540 stamp

Concerning the leaf assembly, that would be our 15-069. You will need to drill out the old rivets to uninstall them. Regarding the new rivets, see out 62-200, as well as the 75-075 rivet installation tool.

For the tilt latch, see our 18-027. This is available in the color black.

Lastly, concerning that small plastic piece, that is unfortunately not something we're able to provide. All of the parts mentioned so far are discontinued, and while we are still able to carry quite a few of them, this one is just not possible for us to get a hold of anymore. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

That should be everything. Please let me know if we can be of any further assistance and I will do my best to help.
