Replacement Channels for Aluminum Window

Handy Person from Indianapolis, IN

Hello

We need to replace both of the channels in our window.  The windows were manufactured in the early 1980s.  The metal sections of the channels are 26 1/2" long.  The back of the Channels are 1/2" wide and the sides are 5/8" wide.

Stamp on the back is 2630X

Thanks Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks for writing in! Are you certain these balances have a 26-1/2" length? If not, I would suggest double checking this. A balance cut in that increment is a custom assembly, so I'd like to be sure before moving forward with any recommendations.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I remeasured them and they are 26 1/2".  What is the stock size closest to that measurement?
Thanks

Hi Greg,

As mentioned, given their unique length, the will need to be custom assemblies. Our standard balances are not interchangeable with the balance size you have. They difference in the length does not allow them to travel properly in the window track.

I'll need to confirm their pricing and availability with my vendor manager. That being said, I'll need to know how many you'd like to purchase. The quantity minimum for custom assemblies is (2) balances.

Thanks for confirming! I've forwarded a quote for (2) of these balances. You'll need to use the quote to place the order from your online cart.

The lead time is 5 to 6 weeks.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
