Custom Channel Balance Quote Request

Home Owner

I was informed by SWISCCO nearly initially that I needed the S380-29 sash channel balance that's fitted with a 19-005 top and 15-005 bottom. However, after I was instructed to measure my existing cannel balance bottom that appears to be 7/8-inch as seen in the attached photo, I was told I would need 15-029 bottom that would be a custom build.

It that 1/8 of a difference that critical needing a customed build? Would the standard S380-29 work well? I will want 24 balances for 12 windows to replace all at once. Would it be better to just send one of my existing channel balance units for SWISCO to examine to provide perfect replacemnt channel balances?

My existing guides are labeled 28 4 CALDWELL AM.

Thanks for reaching out! It is typically recommended to replace your balances with what is already installed in the window. If you are getting a 7/8" measurement for your shoe, then it is likely you'll need the 15-029 shoe.

I've sent over a quote with a link for the (24) requested balances. You'll be able to use this link to review the quote and then to place the balances in your online cart to place your order.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Okay, I understand. One issue is the top plastic piece of my existing channel guides are riveted with a post that appear to go all the way through the plastic piece. The replaced 15-005 top piece does not appear in the SWISCO photo of the part to have that hole to rivet to the main metal channel. I will include several photos for you from various angles to determine that we are talking about the same part.

I will do the same for the bottom piece in the next message.

The way that the balances are made, especially concerning the rivets, will not affect the function of them in your window. Not every manufacturer makes their parts the same way, but they will function in the exact same way that your current balances do. 

So long as the measurement matches for the bottom shoe, these balances will work fine in the window.

My apologies, the quantity was (24) because of the initial request.

I've updated the quote per the request above.
