Request verification my balance is a series 795

Home Owner from College Grove, Tennessee

My block and tackle balance is 28 inches long and stamped 28B but the top end has a 1/4" wide hook attached to the string. The hook engages a 9/32" hole near the top of the window channel.

>> Do you have a model with a hook or do I untie my hook and use it?

My "pivot bar" also looks different from 26-021 shown on your site.

>> Do I re-use my pivot bar? The end looks like 26-021 and should engage 15-195 t-lock balance shoe.

Photos are attached.

Thanks for your help,

David

We can specially make this balance for you, yes. Can you just tell me how many you need?

As for that pivot bar, I see no reason why you can't reuse your old one, as long as it's not damage. If it is damaged, though, let me know.

Hi Tom,
I was in a hurry so I ordered two S795-28 and I moved the hook from my old balances to the new ones. I pulled out some slack and rolled a few wraps of string on the body of the balance and clamped it in place so I could untie the knot and place the old 15-198 hook onto the new balance. The pivot bars on the sash fit into the 15-195 t-lock balance shoe just fine.

I have another window that needs 20C balances. I'll try to order those with the 15-198 hooks installed.

Thanks for your help,

Dave B.

Great, glad you were able to get it to work! If you'd like to specially order the 20C balances, we can help but we will need to know how many you need.

Hi - I was able to place the order online for two S795-20C. The 15-198 hooks are on backorder so I ordered standard units and will reuse my hooks.
