Window balances

Home Owner from Valrico, FL
Hello, I need to replace both balances for a tilt in window.  It has a hook at the top end as seen in picture 4.  I also need a left hand cam pivot(or a set) and both pivot shoes.  The balance is stamped 32F, I don't know the brand.  The body of the balance is 1/2 wide X 1/2 deep.  The channel is 5/8 wide.  The pivot shoes are 1" wide X 3/8 deep, and the opening for the cam pivots appear to be 5/16 X 3/16.  I don't necessarily need exact replacements since all of this hardware is being replaced on both sides, I just need something that will work

Hello,

We can supply new style replacements for your channel balances but, unfortunately, the clips shown in your first photo are not available. You'll need to reuse them with the new balances. We'll just need a bit more time to get a price quote together for you. 

As for the pivot shoe, take a look and compare the 15-134 below to yours.

If you need new pivot bars as well, we would need to see an intact part removed from the window to compare to our inventory. Thank you.

Hello, thanks for your reply.  I do have the clips to reuse, and the pivot shoe you sent is the same size as mine, it looks to be the same part.  Please see the pics below for the pivot lugs.  The left side one did break, which caused everything else to break.  The lug is 1/4" wide X 3/16".  What I don't understand is how they will go into the pivot shoes since they don't retract.  If you have a video on that, that would be great.  Thanks for your help

Good news! We just sent over your order link and price quote for the replacement balances. 

As for the sash pivots, take a look and compare the 26-361 shown below to yours. The sash will need to be installed at an angle so that the pivots have space to engage with the pivot shoe cams before realigning the sash. See the videos related on this page to assist you.

Yes, those look to be identical to what i have.  Does the quote include the pivot shoes and sash pivots?  If not, can you please put everything I need in the quote and i will order.  Thanks for your help with this

The order link only includes the balances. Once the balance link is added to your cart, you can add the pivot shoes and tilt pivots to your order directly from our website. That way, all the parts will ship together.
