Need BSI Window Balance help

Quick Learner from Reno, NV

Hi!

My parents need a couple of replacemet slides for an 18-20 year-old single hung window. The one in the attached photos doesn't properly retract, and simply hangs.

Based on my research, it appears to be a 29 inch BSI 60G Extended Balance, but the top end has two "shelves" and doesn't seem to match any I've been able to find online. Also, the hook may be discontinued.

Could you please tell me if these are still available, and if not, the proper substitute?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, David! We can supply this balance as a custom order. As you already learned, this is a special extended-travel type balance.

Can you just tell me how many you needed? Once I have that I can email you a purchase link and price quote that you can use to place an order on our site.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply.

My parents have three windows that use this balance, but only one is regularly used.

They're going to need at least two balances, and depending on the price, we may order a couple of spares.

Could you please give me pricing for 2 and 4 units?

Thanks again for your help.

Best Regards,

David

Sounds good! I'll send those two links over to you right now. Let me know if you needed anything else, or if you wanted to make any changes.

Oh, one last thing to note before I forget. You had said previously that your balance is 29" long, but you may want to double check that. Based on your stamp of 29-3, the length of the metal channel should be 29-5/8". If it's anything else, please let me know because the custom balances I've just sent you will not work.
