I also have channel balance 34A 108E on it with same hook as the 28B pictured above. Also have 32B with no other markings that need to be replaced with the same hook as well.
I ordered and received 15-194 1" balance shoes with closed cam that I need more of. all the cams I am replacing are open cams. can i use closed cams since I already ordered and received them.
I also ordered and received quite a few S795-28 but the hooks at the top are different (not bent). tks, Bob
Hello,
We have been told the 15-194 T-Lock shoes won't fit the old balances you have so you'll need to order new balances, along with the 1" T-lock shoes. I would recommend our S795-34 (34A), S795-28 (28B) and S795-32 (32B) with the 15-194 T-Lock shoes to replace the stock 1-1/4" shoes.
The top attaching clip is meant to be screwed onto the jamb, so you will need our 26-200 screw plug and 33-090 screw to attach the balance. Just make sure that the opening where your clip normally installs is square and will accommodate the 26-200 screw plug.
Also, I believe you can use the closed cam as opposed to the open. Thank you!
We can still help but since the cut out in your jamb is round, our stock balances with screw tabs will not work for you. All that means is that we'll have to have your replacement balances custom made with the same hooks that your original balances used, as well as the smaller 15-194 T-lock shoe. If you could just send us the number of balance you'd like to order for each length and stamp option, we can get to work getting a price quote and order links together for you.
For clarification, the numbers stamped on the balance indicate the spring strength needed to support the weight of your window sash, so you can have different stamps for balances that are the same length from different windows. Thank you!
