Silver Line Balance

Question

I am replacing a few old Silver Line window balances and thanks to your fantastic website and technician information, see that your 795 series would be the new replacement units. I have 2 questions before I order:

1) The markings on the old unit are 26-6. I'm assuming that's 26". I'm not sure on the weight of the window. Which would you recommend I order?

2) I have to order the additional 1 1/4" shoe (that's the size of the original), does it matter if they are "open" or "closed" cam?

Thanks again for the great site and help! I'll be coming back for more!

I agree, our Series 795 looks like a great match. Your stamp is a little peculiar. Your best bet is to measure the length of the metal channel and weigh your sash on a scale. That's the only way to be 100% sure.

It does matter if the cam is open or closed, yes. The Series 795 comes with a closed cam, but we sell the open 15-195B separately. We also have a video that shows you how you can swap them out.
