We can supply this balance, but it will have to be a custom order due to its configuration. Before we go any further, can you verify the length of the metal channel? It should be 24-7/8", based on your stamp.

Can you also tell me how many you needed?

Hi Tom,

The metal guide portion of the balance is 24 7/8"

We would need 12 of these.

Thank you

Dave

Great, thank you! I'll email that to you right now. One thing to note is that because you're ordering 12, the price per balance is discounted for a bulk quantity. Just something to keep in mind in case you wanted to place an order in the future: if you order fewer than 12, the price will be higher.

Please let me know if you had any other questions and I would be happy to assist.

Related question: do you recommend a specific grease for the balance springs, rollers, and/or painted window tracks?

Thank you so much.

Our balances come pre-lubricated, so you shouldn't have to worry about that for quite some time. That said when it does come time to lubricate them I would recommend white grease on the springs and silicone spray in the track.

Regarding lube and maintenance, should the windows be removed, checked, cleaned, lubed annually? It seems like they are left for years until they fail...we live near the ocean/beach so preventative seems prudent.

In a typical house, it's a good idea to clean and lubricate your window tracks at least once a year. However since you live near the ocean that's a much greater concern. I would recommend doing it with the change in seasons, minimum.
