Hi!
I am looking to replace the window balance on my wooden double hung windows. It appears to be a spring balance, and attached to the jamb at the top with a screw, then at the bottom, it has a hinge with a metal tab that screws to the bottom of the sash. It appears to 9/16 in diameter. It has a cheap plastic cover that has become brittle and is cracked; underneath is the metal spring.
Please let me know if you carry this type of balance and how much it costs for replacement?
Thank you!
Ken

Hey Ken. Check out our Series 500 5/8" Spiral Balance for Non-Tilt Windows. This is often used with older wood windows. It tends to use brackets like the 17-007 or 17-012. Look it over and let me know if you think this matches up. |
