Need help finding correct replacement Sash Balances

Good evening,

Both the sash balances in the window I am trying to repair are defunct.

Please see the pictures above for reference.

The length of the balance (not including the shoe) is 28 inches.

There is a patent # stamped on the side but no other markings.

The patent # is: 5737877

The width of the shoe is 1 and 1/4 inches.

The weight of the sash is 22 pounds

The pivot bar(s) are 2 inches long by 1 and 5/16 inches wide and are 1/8 inch thick.

Any help you can provide in directing me to the correct Sash balances to purchase would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Philip

Hi Philip,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Your channel balance reminds me of an older, discontinued Series 860 Arrow Balance, which can be replaced with the Series 775 Balance. Since yours has a 28" length and 1-1/4" shoe width, you'll need the S775-28. The 28C stamp option will support a sash weighing 18 to 23lbs.

Your pivot bar can be replaced with the 26-021 2-1/2" Pivot Bar. Although, you'll need to be sure to carefully compare the dimensions.
