Window Channel Balance

Home Owner from WA, USA
Hello,
I'm trying to find the right Window Channels for an Altria window. I know Altria was bought out by another company. The window has been installed since 2009. One channel broke, but I'm not sure when. I added two photos, one shows the stamped numbers/letters. It has 14 2 along with BSI VK
The length is 14 1/2" (just the metal part) and it's about 1/2" - 9/16" wide.

Would you have anything that would work as a replacement?

Thank you very much,
Rita

Hi Rita,

Thanks for posting! I suspect you may have a custom assembly, referred to an Extended Travel Channel Balance. I'm happy to provide you with an order link for the replacements you need but I'll need to confirm a few details to identify the correct match.

To start, I'll need to see a clear photo of the front of the balance shoe. It is important to see the shape of the shoe as well as the hook/clip that should be attached to it. I'll also need to see a photo of the top attachment from the balance.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Hi Jasmine,
I added additional photos. I think these cover the details you are asking for.
If not, let me know.
Thank you

Thanks for the additional photos and information. I've forwarded a link with a quote for (2) balances. 

To replace the metal clip in the window frame, you can use the 16-002 Take Out Clip.

Hi Jasmine,

Thank you for the quote. I'll add the two clips you noted (just in case I break them when I go to replace the channels) and get the order going.

Thanks so much for your help!

Best regards
