Searching for Koehler window block and tackle balance pictures

Question

Please email me back as to which replacement part would work in place of this discontinued balance, it's from a Koehler window from around 2002 and I'm going to need like 30 of them in various lengths and spring tensions, thanks Tom

Thanks for posting! Your balances appear to be the discontinued crossbow style balance. These have been converted to use our Series 795 Channel Balances.

To confirm that these balances will be a situatable replacement, you'll need to find and remove an undamaged balance from a window so that you can get the accurate measurements from the balance. These include the length of an undamaged balance, the diameter of the balance channel/tube (which should be 1/2"), as well as the width of the bottom T-shaped attachment. You will also need to obtain the exact weight of the window to select the correct stamp option.

You'll also want to confirm the width of your bottom shoe. It will either be 1" or 1-1/4" across the bottom of the T shape.

Take a look at the video below for instructions on this balance conversion and the information you'll need to determine the correct balances. Let me know if you have any questions.
