Coil Balance Quote Request

Thanks for reaching out. Since your window sash only weighs 14lbs, you should only need a 7lb coil balance assembly for each side of the window.

It is likely the Series 161 Coil Balance assembly may not be the one you need to replace your balances. May I please see a photo of your existing assembly, removed from the window?

Please also be sure to double check the sash weight. 

I understand. However, the coil balance support you show is not compatible with our Series 161 balances. So that makes me even more weary that this is the replacement assembly you'll need. 

I will need to see the entire assembly, not just the coil support. Are you able to remove an undamaged balance from a similar window?  

Reviewing photos of the original assembly is the only way I'll be able to confirm the correct replacement so that your windows function properly. You'll also need to have it removed to confirm the measurements. Take a look at the video below for instructions on removing these balances.

Regarding the number stamped on the coil balance support, given that you confirmed your sash weighs 14lb, it is not likely that you need a balance that supports 14lbs. Putting a 14lb coil in your window would mean that your balance weighs 28lbs. That amount of tension would be way too strong for the window.

I would also recommend double checking the sash weight so that we can get you set up with the right balance assembly for the window. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for confirming. Your balances appear to be more like our Series 140 Balances. Since you've confirmed that the window weight is 25-30lbs it is most likely that your sash is 28lbs. Given that your original hardware is stamped with the number 14, you'll need the S140-14. 

I am confident this is the correct replacement, however, I recommend confirming the measurements below to be sure.
