Replacement T-Shoes/locks needed

Question

Hello,

My window balancers are inverted balances with T-locks and are stamped with the number "27B" as shown. I need 6 replacement T-locks to repair 2 window sashes and keep an extra pair in reserve.

The T-locks have the top anchoring portion broken away (~14 year-old windows) and I need to know if your 15-195B part will work with these balancers.

I measured the existing T-lock and it looks to be very close to the diagram you have on the site. The width I measure = 0.473", which is slightly wider than the 15/32 (0.469") specified in your part diagram.

Can you confirm these are the correct replacement parts, please?

Many thanks,

Dominic

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not carry a version of your pivot shoe that has an open cam and the groove in the stem needed for it to attach to the balance channel. You can use the 15-195B but you will need to replace both balances in your window with the S795-27 (27B). These balances come with the 15-195, so you'll need to purchase the 15-195B as well to swap out the t-locks by following the video below.

It looks like your original balances use the same type of screw clip at the end of the pulley cord to attach the balance to the top of the window jamb, but you should double-check just to be sure. Thanks for posting!
