Window Channel Balances

Each spring assembly is 9/16" wide and 26" long. There are two so I believe the channel is 1-1/8" total. These are on hurricane windows in Florida. I guess that's why all the plastic parts are failing.

I'm very familiar with this balance. This is a unique configuration but we should still be able to assist.

Before we go any further, can you please show me a closer photo of the metal tab at the end of the cord? This is what secures the balance at the top of the frame. I can't quite make it out in these photos but it is an essential component.

Can you also tell me how many you needed?

Is that the thing you needed a picture of? Thanks. We'll probably order 3 pair.

That's exactly it, thank you! Your balance appears to be a variation of our Series 795 balance, but instead of a "T" lock shoe, you have the 15-224 inverted link at the bottom.

These are actually very easy to swap out, they just pop on and off. I recommend that you buy the Series 795 and 15-224 separately, then just swap them out once you get them. Should work like a charm.
