Replacement balances

Contractor from Delaware

Hello, I need assistance ordering the correct window sash replacment balance.

Attached are photos of the discontinued existing crossbow balance.

 

-Single hung sash measures 33" wide × 30-1/4" high and weighs 18 pounds.  The sash thickness is 1-1/4"

 

-The current bottom shoe width is 1-1/4"

 

-The screw width for the pivot bar is 1-1/2" 

 

-The existing gray rod inside the rusty spring picture measures 27-1/4" long

 

Can you please tell me what parts numbers I need. Are the balances sold in pairs or single? There is a total of 8 windows that need repair.

 

Also need one right hand windiw latch, measure approx 2-1/2" long and just shy of 3/4" wide, rounded on one end. 

 

Thank you for your help.

Hey Glen. This old crossbow balance is no longer made, but you can replace it with our Series 795 Channel Balance. The video below explains everything. Take a look and let me know if you have further questions. 



As far as the latch, can you send us photos of it? That will help narrow down your options. Many thanks.

Thanks for your response. Which length balance do I need from S795?

If the rod is, say, 27-1/2" long but less than 28", then you'd round down and need a 27" long Series 795--but carefully measure the old rod length to confirm this. 

As far as the tilt latches go, see the 26-243 and 26-244. Though the rounded edge differs, if the dimensions otherwise match these can work for you.
