Thanks for posting! There is a chance that we can supply you with the replacement channel balances you need. However, to confirm the correct replacement balances, I'll need to see a photo of an undamaged balance removed from the window. Unfortunately, the stamp from the balance does not indicate the type of balance you need. It only tells us the weight range the balance should be able to carry to support the weight of your sash.

To properly identify them, I'll need to see a photo of any attachments that may be on the top or bottom of the balance.

If this is a tilt window, I'll need to see any attachments that could possibly be left behind in the window or that could possibly be attached to the bottom of the window. If there is a hook at the top of the balance, I'll need to see the space in the window channel where the hook connects.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have.

Here are the pictures of what you asked for. Also, the metal part of the balance is 26" long and it is a tilt window.
Thank you for all the help.

Thanks for the photos! Your balances appear to have the 15-044 Balance Attachment on the bottom of them, so your replacements will need to be custom assemblies.

I've forwarded a link with a quote for the (2) requested balances. You'll be able to use this link to review the quote and place the order from your online cart.

If you are looking to replace the shoe, we do not carry an exact replacement for the one you have but our 15-216 T-Lock Pivot Shoe should work well as a replacement.
