replacing a OLD tilt window channel balance

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us. It looks like your balance uses a locking terminal shoe like our 15-233 which leads me to believe you have the Series 751. However, I recommend you remove your old shoe to confirm the 15-233 is what you have. If it is, this would have to be a custom order since we don't have a stock balance that uses this shoe. 

Just in case this indeed needs to be a custom order, can you show us a photo of the stamp on the metal channel? And how many balances are you looking to replace? 

Thank you for the additional photos, Bruce! This doesn't need to be a custom order after all, Based on what I see here, you can use the S751-33 ribbed channel balance with the 32HD stamp. For a new s-clip, see the 19-029 or 19-030.

Let me know if you have any questions!

That's a good question! If your jamb liner does not have a screw-in trim on the interior that holds the jamb in, then there are a few possibilities.

The first is that these are pressure-fit, meaning they're only held in by the sash itself. A lot of Andersen and Pella brand windows work this way and in those cases, you would have to kind of half pry, half shimmy them out of place.

In a worst-case scenario, the jamb liners are not technically meant to be removed. A lot of window types require the installers to drop the jamb into it from above for a permanent installation. Of course, it's not really permanent, but it does complicate your project by quite a bit. You will need to partially disassemble the window frame in order to lift the jamb liner up and out of place.

No problem, Bruce. We look forward to hearing how the repair goes and will be here to help if you need us!
