A window that will not stay up, slams shut, or feels heavy to lift usually has a failed balance, the spring mechanism that counterweights the sash. Replacing the balance restores smooth lifting and keeps the sash open where it is set. These replacement balances are offered in tilt-style lengths and square-style sizes to match common double-hung windows. Matching the type and size of the original balance is the key to a direct-fit repair, and a balance tool is stocked to make installation easier.
Key Features:
- Restores Sash Operation -- Replaces a failed balance so the sash lifts easily and stays put.
- Tilt and Square Styles -- Tilt lengths from 26" to 34", and square sizes from 18" x 30" to 33" x 30" plus 25" to 27" x 40".
- Direct-Fit Repair -- Match the style and size of the original for a drop-in fix.
- Fixes Drifting Sash -- Stops a sash that slides down or slams shut.
- Low-Cost Fix -- Cheaper than replacing the window or sash.
Where to Use:
- Double-hung windows -- Replacing worn or broken sash balances.
- Apartment and building maintenance -- Frequent repair in older windows across many units.
- Window restoration -- Bringing aging windows back to smooth operation.
