I installed the 3 LB SERIES 140 QUICK-TILT, SINGLE Product Code: S140-3 for a bathroom window and am pleased with your delivery and overall results. I do note that the window will stay open when raised 1 inch and all the way up. However the window does not stay open halfway. Did I order the wrong weight? There was no labels on my window so I hand weighed and added a little to select the series. If I order another set at the next weight up will it solve the problem or should I look elsewhere in how the window works for a solution.
Again, so happy my condo association management team was able to point me to your site for the parts.
Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry to hear that our balance didn't work out for you. Can you tell me how much your original sash weighed? Can you also tell me what number was printed on the old stamp? |

Thank you! That falls within the strength range of the balances you purchased, so that rules out that possibility. I think the problem is just that the Series 140 doesn't match your old balance setup. The balance shoe in your photos is an old version of our 15-180. This is designed to work with our Series 190 coil spring, 15-181 support, and 15-182 balance bushing. These parts will probably work better in your window. |

Well, I was going off of the photos you submitted in your first post. Are those not the parts that were in your window to begin with? |
