Hi there, thanks for writing in. It sounds to me like the the original balances might have had the wrong spring strength. That is the most likely culprit for a window that is difficult to open or close. In these instances we typically have our customers weigh their window sash to confirm that the spring strength is correct. However, it sounds like your new balances are working well so you shouldn't need to do that. Let me know if you have any further questions!
