Barrier Windows Spring Balance Replacements

Quick Learner from North Carolina

I have 12 Barrier Enterprise double hung windows. All have the same problem with the spring balances attached to the bottom portion of the window. The "pivot shoes" are worn and weak, so I believe they may be the culprit. Additionally, a small cap popped out of the window jamb (although I don't know where it came from). I?ve attached photos of the balance system.

I'm not sure if you need to know, but each bottom portion window weighs 25.4 pounds. If replacement parts aren?t available for these windows, is there an alternate type of spring balance system we could install as a replacement? I hope you can help me with this problem as I need to repair these windows as soon as possible.

Thank you, Josephine

I'm afraid this exact balance is no longer available. Since your rod is 27-1/2" long, I recommend using our S795-28 as a replacement. I also recommend a 28D option for sashes weighing 23 through 28 pounds. 

You will also need to change your pivot bar to either our 26-021 or 26-366, depending on the style you have now.
