Jeldwen window balances

Distributor from Verdigre, NE

These are balances for 20 - 25 year old Jeldwen windows (I think they're all single hung). I think they were considered a "contractor series". They're not the greatest windows, but doesn't make sense to replace them on the cabin they are installed in. Hope you can help with new balances! Let me know if you need more info to ID them.

Thanks - Chris

Hello there, Chris!

Thank you for reaching out to us. What you have here is an old rod balance that's no longer made. I'm confident we have a replacement but I'd like more information to help narrow down which Series of balance is the best part for the job. Can you remove an undamaged balance from the window and show us some photos?

Emily: this is at our family's cabin. I will be there this weekend, will try to remove one.

Thanks,

Emily: here are pics of a mostly intact balance. The frame size of the window this came out of was roughly 26x43 1/2". It attaches at the top via a 2-pronged plastic connector. The prongs broke off when I removed the balance, the rest of the balance is intact. Whatever you can come up with for a replacement would work better if it had a screw attachment.

Let me know what else you need, and if necessary, I could even send this balance to you.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for getting back to me, Chris! If your spring measures 1/2" in diameter, you can use the Series 795. We even have a video that will walk you through the whole process, step by step.

You would have to follow along with the video above step by step to determine the parts you need. Then you would just place an order directly on our website at your convenience.
