I bought my replacement channel balances from you because of the comprehensiveness and quality of your videos. Following your directions made this a breeze. Thanks!
After having no idea how to take out my windows that don’t tilt, this video finally showed me how to use these tabs! Thank you! Windows from the early 1980s, I had no idea.
Great video - thank you so much. Just saved me $3400, which I was quoted for new windows because my old 50 year windows 'probably couldn't be fixed'. BTW, as you take out your channel balance spring - note which slit your channel hooks into. Mine had two options, which I didn't notice as I was removing it. I initially did my new install using the wrong slit, which resulted in the window not being able to close. No biggy, just had to take out the window and re-do my efforts, but if I'd known my window had options I would have paid attention as I removed it.
Exactly what I need! Thank you for the helpful video and your courteous customer service. I was able to get correct non-tilt channel balances and replace them by myself.
Thank you for posting this video. I was able to replace the channel balances myself in no time at all. There are several slots in my window frame so I would suggest making note of which slot you're removing the hook from so you place the new hook in the same slot.
In my case removing the rubber bumper at the top of the frame made the process way easier. If you have a rubber bumper at the top remove it before removing or installing the channel balance.
Have a video on replacing the take out clip? A thief broke the left side one, forcing our locked window open. If it wasn't for this video, I'd have never known what that part was.
I can’t remove the window. There is no room for that. I could change the channel balancer for my window in the previous house, but not this house. All windows are big that couldn’t be out of the frames.
Usually so! However, since it's riveted on, it's usually easier to replace the whole balance. You can find both the top attachments and balances here - www.swisco.com/cl/Sash-Support-Balances_Hardware

I finally found this video and quickly reassembled the old window, where the balances had fallen out. Thank you!

WOW, after so much struggle, this video helped us through. I kept putting it on pause until we managed each step. Done! Nobody got hurt!
I have watched several of these videos, but this one is by far the best one, both visually and explaining the steps that need to be taken.
It's the exact video I was looking for. I fixed all my windows problem from this video. Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome!

Swisco saved my sanity. Got everything I needed to repair the windows in a 1987 house. I kinda feel like Superwoman now. 😂

Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback :)
This is the best one on YT!
THANK YOU!!!!! Watched x2 as required viewing😁
My window won’t close all the way and springs back up after replacing - what do you think is the problem?
In my case removing the rubber bumper at the top of the frame made the process way easier. If you have a rubber bumper at the top remove it before removing or installing the channel balance.
The plastic part on the upper corner of my windows are broke so they don't catch the balance. Any suggestions on that?

like magic, it worked
In this video he calls that upper clip "channel attachment"... is that the only name for that?
I need to replace one that apparently broke off.

Now do the top sash.
