Can I replace this with coil balances? I think it will be easier for me to fit it into the window jamb. Thank you!

Hi there! You won't be able to replace your channel balance with a coil balance, no. They wouldn't be easier to fit in the window jamb because they wouldn't fit at all to begin with. You are pretty much stuck with this style unless you get an all new window.

With that said, the match for your channel balance is our Series 751.

Thanks so much, Tom! I'll order the 751 series. Will order the 30" as the 30XHD balance that I removed from the window is about that length, albeit maybe a little bit longer, but I think the 30 number imprinted on it refers to that length. If I'm mistaken, please let me know. With appreciation,

Hey, Natan. A stamp of 30XHD usually indicates a metal channel length of 31", so you should double check that just to be sure. I know that's a little confusing but the first digits of the stamp on this kind of balance are typically one less than the length.
