Double Hung - Hinged Window Parts

Question

I just purchased a 28 year old condo with Alum. frame double hung windows that have a hinges on the left side for cleaning, instead of the typical tilt out. Several of the hinges are broken and several of the channel balances and missing or broken. Also some the slides that prevent the window from opening on the hinge are broken.

The hinge side of the window has the channel balance with markings 2240 and what looks like a F but without the bottom of the letter. The right side has 2230 with the same partial F if it's not clear in the picture let me know and I'll try again.

Both sides are 23 inches long. Both have the same top guide and the hinge side does not have a bottom guide. Thanks for your help. Mike

Thanks for posting! This is a unique type of balance. Essentially, you will need two balances for your window, but like you said, one of them will not include a bottom shoe. This is intentional. We do not have an existing Series for these balances, so they will have to be custom made for you.

The first balance, with the stamp 2230, will have a bottom shoe. The second balance, with the stamp 2240, will not have a bottom shoe. I'll go ahead and email you a purchase link and price quote for your review. Please let us know if you have any questions!

For the hinge itself, check out our 15-058 and see how well this matches.
