I have windows two windows 23" wide by 35" tall that appear to be the same window with two different devices that keep the window from slamming shut when you open it both are not working anymore as the windows will not stay open.

Thanks for posting! I would check the length of your balance channel, I believe it should be 16" long. Can you confirm? Can you also tell me the weight of the sash? We should be able to replace this balance, though it will need to be custom made. I'm thinking it would be our S770-16 the bottom clip swapped out for our 62-105. Does that look good to you? If so, let me know how many you need and I can email you a custom balance order link, which will include a price quote.

Yes the balance channel is 16 inches. The weight of the sash is around 8lbs. The clip looks correct as well. I have two windows I need to fix so I need to pair or four of each... four balance channels and bottom clips.

Can you tell me the exact weight of the sash? 8 pounds is very light and doesn't match up to what I was expecting from your original 15HD stamp.

I just took the window all the way out and weighed it. 7lb 15 ounces exactly

Great, thank you! In that case, I think we will go with the 16B option, which can carry 7 through 10 pounds. I will email you a custom order link for four immediately.
