S600-26 Black Tip Not Working
Hello, I recently bought a set of 2600-26 spiral window balances for a large set of windows (older double hung) and unfortunately the Black Tip models do not have enough "pressure" to hold the window up. I was informed that these are the highest grade tip and that I may need to purchase another mod ... (cont.)

Spiral balances don't work
I bought a set of eight S900-26's. They don't hold up the sash. I put a charge in them as I saw on your video. They don't stay up. When I put the old balances back in, they work but they make the same noise that made me want new balances. I did notice that the spiral on the old balance twists the ... (cont.)

I believe the width is a bit more than 1/2" wide with a red tip. That would be Series 600? The tubes and parts are fairly covered with grease ... (cont.)

Series 600 spiral balance, are they pre-charged?
You will have to charge the balances, I usually give the spiral three to four turns to start. I then take precaution by trying the window sash to see if it will operate properly. Then I adjust it accordingly, adding more turns as needed.

How to know my balancers are due for replacement?
My existing tilt windows are using this balancer (S600-26) in terms of measurements. None of my windows stay up when opened so I needed to insert a block under the window to stop it from falling. I tried to re-adjust the existing balancers, none of them has any tensions. I wonder if the new ones ... (cont.)
