Our house was new in 2001. We have a number of inoperable single hung Patriot windows. I do not know the Model of the windows. The major problem is the Block and Tackle Rod Balances are broken. Currently we have a total of 11 windows that are not working properly - 9 with the bottom tilt in pane that measures 31-3/4" high and 31-1/2" wide and 2 with the bottom pane that measures ~38" high and ~32' wide. The Block and Tackle Rod Balances on a number of our ~38" high and ~31" wide windows were replaced by Patriot back in 2003.
For replacements I would prefer to use channel balances if possible. I am very leary of using the block & tackle balances. The block and tackle balances I had were junk and, in my opinion, failed prematurely. Are the Series 795 balances a suitable replacement? If so, could you recommend which ones I need to get for both size windows? I still have some operable Block and Tackle Rod Balances for the 31-3/4" high and 31-1/2" wide windows but not for the ~38" high and ~32' wide windows. The replacement channel balances for the ~38" high and ~32' wide windows are marked "36B BSI RR". Would you be able to cross reference that channel balance with one you sell? We need to replace a few of the pivot bars. The ones in the windows look like they are an exact match to your model 26-318 2-1/2" Pivot Bar. The original pivot bars have worked with the replacement balances. Would it be correct to assume these pivot bars would work with the replacement balance you recommend?We also need to replace some of the window latches. Your model 26-244 and 26-243 look like they match what we have. Please advise. Thank you.
