Windows Channel Balance and Inner Stopper

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to identify a windows channel balance with the following text printed on it:

27 4 EX CMC 4

I also realized that the inner "stopper" that needs to be extended out in order to remove the channel balance is also missing on one side of the window. Do you sell this part as well? If not, is there a way to remove and replace the channel balance without it? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Jesper

Hi Jesper. That stamp only tells us the strength of the balance. To know its identity, you'll have to remove it and show us good pictures of the nylon fittings on either end. From there I should be able to ID it for you. As far as the take-out clip, we carry the 16-002; but if this was not the design of your original clip it won't work. The other method is to drill screws into the window jamb just below where the take-out clips once were. You can then use the head of the screws to 'catch' the balances during removal and replacement. This isn't an ideal solution since you have to remove the screws when the window's in normal use, but it's your best bet if the 16-002 isn't what you need.
