Thank you for your inquiry. Have you seen our Series 745 channel balance? Do you think that might match? Let me know!

Thanks for getting back to us. For a 23.5" Series 745 channel balance, please look at our S745-23. Now, for the option, looking at your stamp of 3054, I believe this will translate to the 22.25-3 stamp option. A pair of S745-23 balances with the 22.25-3 stamp option can carry a window sash weight range of 13 through and including 19 pounds.
If you aren't quite certain, you can always weigh your window sash and double check. Please keep in mind that the weight range capacity information is based on 2 balances per sash. Balances are designed assuming friction in the jamb weather-strip will carry a portion of the sash weight. Suggested sash weights are approximate |

A stronger spring may not necessarily work better. They could actually make your window harder to operate.
How old are your balances? Did they always work poorly or is this a recent thing? Also, how heavy is your sash? Keep in mind that the life span of this kind of balance is around ten years. |
