Block and tackle sash balance replacement

Landlord from Castle Rock, CO
Hello, I need to replace a pair of window block and tackle sash balances.  They have a marking on the back side of 26-3 ED5 CMC 68.  The metal channel is 27 inches in length.  The balance shoe is 1 3/32 inches wide.  Please let me know if you need any other information to identify the part.  Thank you, Charles

Hello there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. We can help with this. We would also like to see an image of the inside of the balance’s metal channel, where the innerspring connects to the pulley mechanism; this connection is located in the middle of the channel.

Emily, Thanks for getting back to me.  I attached 3 photos of the inner channel.  Please let me know if you need anything else.  Charles

Thank you, Charles! What you have here will have to be a custom order since your balance uses a special washer that regulates the spring calibration. The best we can offer is a balance with a 1.088" shoe, but we can't promise a direct fit if the depth differs. Just something to keep in mind, as custom orders are nonrefundable.

Let us know if you'd be interested, along with the quantity of balances you need, and we can get the ball rolling.

Emily,  I appreciate your help with this.  I would definitely like to get the ball rolling.  Please order 4 (2 pairs) of the block and tackle sash balances that I need for my 2 windows. Thank you so much!  Charles

Sounds good, Charles. I'm going to email you a purchase link for (4) 26-3 balances, which you can use to place an order on our website. 

Please let us know if you have any questions!

On second thought, please change my order to (2) 26-3 balances.  If they fit in the first window, I will order a second pair in the near future.  Thanks for your help!
