Spring cable balance

Quick Learner from Fort Mill SC

Hopefully you can identify the window balance based on photos the home is about 30 yrs old and half the windows will not operate so I'm going to replace all balances. Stamp on channel 26C

Hello,

I'd recommend starting by comparing the specifications of the S795-26 (26C) balances to your assembly. Please note that these balances use a screw clip at the end of the pulley cord for installation, which is not visible in your photos. Also, make sure to confirm that the dimensions of the 15-195 closed-cam t-lock shoe that comes with these balances match yours.

If you need new pivot bars as well, we would need to see photos of yours fully removed from the sash to compare to our inventory. Thank you!

Thanks for getting back to us. I still believe that we can help but your t-lock shoe is a different style than we usually see. To confirm if the S795 could work as a replacement, we'll need you to confirm the width of the metal channel.

Looks like the channel width is .50 inch

Great, then the S795 balances that we originally recommended should work since they have the same 1/2" wide channel. If you decide to give them a try and run into any problems, you're welcome to review our return policy here, though I see no obvious reason why our replacements couldn't work for your repair.

Your weatherstripping resembles either the 58-171 or 58-182. We'll include the dimensions from our product pages below.

As for the pivot bar, I can't quite make out the details from your photo. If you could show us another close-up photo of the part, that would help us narrow down your options.
