Spring sash balance replacement

Quick Learner from Dubuque Iowa
This is from a vinyl window about twenty years old bottom sash. I'm needing four of these to replace. There are no numbers to refer anywhere on the unit or window.. I'm attaching pictures. Is there anything that I could use otherwise if replacements are not available identically. IMG 2803 pic is a part that appears damage .

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in! I believe there may be a glitch we're not aware of but I cannot be sure, on my end it was showing as 'under review'. Our sincerest apologies for any confusion.

The balance you have here is a discontinued crossbow channel balance. This can most likely be replaced with our Series 795 Channel Balance but there are a few details you'll need to gather to confirm the right fit for your repairs. You will need to find an undamaged balance to confirm the information.

Wow.. Im impressed by the great instructions and that you actually have options for my windows. Below is the additional info requested.
- Crossbow lenth tip to tip is approx 40 1/4 inches (tall window) (series 795 ? )
- T Shape Shoe width is 1 1/4 inches (part # 15-195? )
- Sash Weight is 20 lb
- New Pivot Bars needed are the 26-021

I have two windows I need to replace the balances in (for balances total ?)

I'm happy to hear that the instructions were clear and concise! Thanks for confirming the requested information.

Your balances can be replaced with the S795-40 Channel Balance with a 40B stamp option for your 20lb sash. These will come assembled with the 15-195 1-1/4" T-Lock Balance Shoe.

If the windows are the same size, you'll likely need the same replacement parts but you'll need to be sure to double check the same information to confirm that with certainty.

Please let me know if there is any else I might be able to assist with.
