Sash balance replacement

Home Owner from Palo Alto California

Hello,

I need to replace few sash balances on my Milgard metal frame windows. The photos show one still working. The length of the metal part is 26", top guide is 1"1/4, bottom guide 1"1/16 winged 15/16 depth 5/8. The sash weighs 33 lb

I need 5 of them.

Let me know if you have them,

Thank you

Monica

Hi there, Monica.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We can help replace this balance. It will just have to be a custom order due to the configuration. I need one more detail however so that I can get this moving for you. Can you tell us the stamp printed on the metal channel? The stamp shown in your photos is too faded to make out so we recommend checking the balance on the other side of the window for an intact marking.

Note, it's always a good idea to replace balances in pairs. Pairing an old balance with a new balance will cause the new one to wear out much faster. Just something to keep in mind!

Hi Emily,
Thank you for answering my message!
This the picture of another balance of the same type. Unfortunately I haven't replaced the broken ones in pairs and now I have several windows with issues.
Let's start by buying a couple of the new ones and if everything works fine I will replace all the others.

Thanks, Monica! This is a huge help. Just to confirm, are you looking to start out with 2? I also want to mention that we have a price break starting at the quantity of 6. Just something to keep in mind!
