Good morning! There are no names or markings of any kind on the windows. I need your help selecting the right replacement parts for my (5) single-hung windows. Attached are pictures of the broken channel balance shoe and pivot pin. The sash weighed 18lbs. The Channel balance (28B stamped on) measured 29" from top to bottom of shoe (1 1/4 across). Can please help me select the correct replacement parts. I need parts for all 5 windows?

The balance appears to be our S795-28. Just go over all the dimensions, as well as how the balance attaches to the top of the window jamb (via a screw-on tab), to confirm this matches up. For the pivot bar, see if our 26-040 matches up.

I attached a picture showing the top of the channel balance and the shoe. Does the screw-on tab and shoe comes with the balance? It does not say in the online catalog. Thanks for responding.

Hey Clarence. Our 15-195 1-1/4" T-Lock Shoe comes installed with the Series 795 by default. So does the screw tab on top; however, from this angle I can't tell if you actually have a balance with a 15-198 hook on top instead. Was this tab screwed into the window jamb? Or is it just a hook that inserts into a slot? If it's the latter, we can custom make these balances with the hook attached. If it's just a screwtab, however, you should be ready to go with standard balances.
