Purchase parts

Hello, My window can't hold up and the Channel Balances stamp is 28 3. Can you please advise what replacement (s) part should I get? Thank you! Peggy (Irvine CA)

Hello,

We'd be happy to help but we would need to see your balance assembly fully removed from the window, including the fitting attached to the opposite end of the metal channel, to compare to our inventory. Thank you!

Hello Casey and thank you for your response! May I know what is fitting attached to the opposite end of the metal channel?
Thank you!

The fittings are the nylon pieces attached to both ends of your metal channel, which we will need to see fully removed from the window to identify a possible replacement.

Hi Casey, thank you and sorry to take so long to reply. I finally able to take some pictures of the fitting but since I wasn't able to remove the balance completely so I only had the image from bottom end. Please see attached pictures and again Balances stamp show 28 3.
Thank you so much!

Thanks for getting back to us Peggy. We're on the right track but, unfortunately, we can't confirm the correct replacement for your balance until we see the top fitting as well. Since your balance appears to be detached from the window, you should be able to pull it out of the bottom of the window with the sash raised.

Thank you Casey! I will try again to remove the balance. I was very worried while trying to pull it and couldn't put it back and unable to close the window. It is a rental home so I need appointment with tenant to go in for pictures. Thanks so much again and I will be in touch soon! Peggy

Sounds good Peggy. Keep in mind that you should still be able to reinstall the sash in the frame, even without the balances installed. You just wouldn't be able to open the window until the balances are replaced.

Thank you for letting me know Casey! I feel little more confident now.

Hope you are well. Please see attached pictures for both ends of balance and hope I can get a replacement. Balances stamp show 28 3.
