Extended-Travel Channel Balance Quote
Stamp 26 4
8 balances needed
We can supply this balance, but only as a custom order due to its configuration.
You should also note that the original manufacturer discontinued your exact assembly and no longer makes it. The good news is that they have a modern equivalent that is meant to work in all the same applications. The design is a little different, though, and as a result so is the spring calibration. I will need you to tell me the exact weight of your sash, down to the ounce, so that we can verify the proper calibration on the new style.
Once I have that data, I'll email you a purchase link and price quote that will let you place an order on our site.
The weight is 10lbs .27 oucnes
That's incredibly light for a 26-4 stamp like you had originally. A 26-4 stamp is calibrated to hold 18 through 25 pounds. Can you verify that weight? Have you often found that this particular window is too hard to close? It's honestly a big enough difference that the window would be opening all on its own.
Assuming that 10 pounds, 27 ounces is accurate then what I can do is set you up with a new balance that uses the 2620 stamp option. This holds 9 through 13 pounds, so it should be perfect for that weight. Just note that it's way weaker than your original.
If your windows have worked perfectly well all these years, then we're looking at a red flag. Be very mindful of this as you move forward with this project, since custom balances are non-refundable.
For now, I will email you a purchase link and price quote for two balances with the new 2620 stamp. Note that these balances are not in stock so will have a lead time of approximately 5-6 business weeks as we have stock made for you.
We went back to the customers house and weighed the sash, it came out to be exactly 9.3 lbs so lets move foward with the 26-20 stamped balances.
Thanks for your expertice
Great! I emailed you that order link back on the 31st, and it appears to still be active. You may use that to place an order for the 2620 stamp balances at your convenience.
