Extended-Travel Channel Balance Quote

Quick Learner
channel length is 32 5/8 inches long, and 5/8 inch deep and also wide. Stamped on the metal shows, 32DS rf44. BSI. The window is in a condo unit, I believe it was built around 2005, and these are the original windows. I'll need a total of 6 Balances. windows are roughly 29inches wide by 34inches tall. not sure of the weight yet.

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching out to us. We can help supply this balance but it will have to be a custom order due to its configuration. The pulley wheel is built into the bottom fitting itself and this balance features an extended cord travel as well as a metal channel length of 32-5/8" which is what makes it custom. 

Can you show us a photo of the stamp printed on the metal channel? We can draft a price quote from there.

Hello Emily, attached is the stamp picture. Also the window weight is 48 pounds. Not sure what the brand of windows are tho. Do I need to have the same type of balance, or could something else work that would be more readily available that wouldn't have to be ordered every time? Thanks

Thanks so much for the additional photo! 

We always recommend that you stick with the original hardware the window was designed to use. Furthermore, I'm afraid our stock balances cannot replace this type. 

Your old 32DS44 stamp is calibrated for a 44-pound sash but you say the window weighs 48 pounds. We recommend you replace the original but the decision is ultimately up to you whether you'd like to go with the original 32DS44 stamp or the 32DS48 stamp for a 48-pound sash. Let me know!
