Replacing "string" balances

Home Owner from League City, Texas
Hi:  Attempting to repair the balasts on a couple of  35x58 double pain tilt out windows.  Unsure of manufacturer.  The do have old "string" and block an pully mechanism which I guess I can replace with a newer technology.  These would have been installed 18 years ago.  The bottom pane of these windows weighs 36lbs.  Measurements of the exiting channels are on the photos.
Appreciate a reccomended part number!  And any tips on installing a non-string balast replaement.

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. We can help with this. Your balance is a match for the Series 795. However, yours uses a hook like the 15-198 to install, which means this must be a custom order. We'll just need a few additional details to get this moving for you.

  • Can you confirm the length of the metal channel and the stamp printed on the back of it?
  • How many balances are you looking to replace? 
  • If you need a new pivot bar, we will need to see it removed from the window sash.
