Part Identify

A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:

(1) First two pictures: It's tilt window lock KEEPER BAR 29 inches long. Do you have this part or closest match?

(2) 3rd and 4th Pictures : Block and tackle channel balance : Stamped/engraved 2500 BSI LB. In this one the spring holder is cracked!

Do you have this whole part or closest match ?

The block and tackle balance is 25 inches long.

The sash weight is about 10-15 lb

Thanks for reaching out to us. For the keeper bar, I actually think that's the glazing bead. Can you confirm? This is the plastic vinyl snap-in that holds the glass in the window frame. If it is the glazing, then I need you to remove a small sample and show me a clear picture of the end profile. That will allow me to confirm if we have a match.

For the channel balance, I can't really make out your design from these photos. I would like you to show me a clear picture of the top end, bottom end, and the hook at the bottom of the cord. Just to be safe, please make sure to show us these details on an undamaged balance. I think the one you show here is a bit too damaged to accurately ID, so an undamaged version will make sure that we aren't missing any important details.

Finally, would it be possible to get the exact weight of the sash, down to the ounce? You said it was 10-15 pounds, but a 5 pound difference is huge when it comes to balances. I will need the exact weight.

I have uploaded the pictures of the channel balance. I have to find out the weight of sash .

Thanks! That's a huge help. This balance appears to be a match for our Series 770. The metal channel should be 26" long, but you should measure it yourself to confirm. Once you have the sash weight you can check the chart we have on the S770-26 store page, that will tell you exactly how much weight each option supports.

Thank you.
Question 2:
Length: 29 inches
Width : 1.5 CM
Height: 0.4 CM
Location: It's attached on the bottom of upper sash.
Material: vinyl
When we lock the lower sash, it gets into it to lock.
Thank you for your help.

That's the glazing bead that I mentioned in my first response. We may have this, but as I mentioned before it will be necessary to see the end profile. I cannot identify it as long as it's still installed. The video below will go into more detail as to what I need from you.

A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:
Thank you Tom for the balance match series.
Regarding the other one I tried to take a small sample but could not.
Anyways would you please tell me what series/ number it may belong to . That is just to see if I can make a match. And I have to attach two keepers on it with screws.
Thank and appreciate your help so much.

Tom from SWISCO responded:

I'm afraid I can't make a recommendation. I don't really have a reference to use to narrow down the list of possible replacements, which at this stage is very large. We need to see the end profile to proceed.

In the meantime, you can see our full selection of glazing bead here. You may be able to find a possible match, but ultimately you're going to have to get the end profile shape and size to confirm it. There is no other way.

A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:
Thank you so much for your help. I will be ordering the balance soon.
Have a wonderful day.
A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:

Thanks! This is perfect. What you have here looks like an older version of our 55-015. I think this is still a promising match, but you can see our dimensions below to confirm. You can also order a sample here to try out before you commit to a purchase, that way you can know for sure. All that aside, I'm optimistic that this is what you want, I just like playing it safe.

Thank you so much Tom.

Tom from SWISCO responded:

Yes, that is a keeper. We sell quite a few different kinds, and the best match would depend on the hole center spacing. You can start by looking at our 90-183 (2-1/4") and 90-279 (2-1/16"), but there are others, which you can see here.

A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:
Thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend.

Pivot Shoe :
Hi Tom: Would you please check for me what size pivot shoe fits S770-25 : 25" Series 770 Balance.
Thank you.
A home owner from Greensboro NC 27455 says:
2nd Question:

What size/code is this sash lock and keeper ?
End to end measures about 2.6 inches.

Tom from SWISCO responded:

The Series 770 is compatible with quite a few different pivot shoes. The two most common are our 15-129 and 15-178, but these are just two of many. You will ultimately need to remove the original and compare it to the specs we show for each of these products to confirm which one is the better match, if either.

As for the lock and kaeeper, there are a couple different options for this, as well. Like I mentioned before, we need to know the distance between the two screw holes (center-to-center). This goes for the keeper and the lock, though they are usually going to be the same.
