I’m looking for a video on how to replace a balance on a double hung Revere window
Hi Steve, I haven’t seen a video like that. I might make one in the future, but for now I can tell you how to do it. You’d start by removing the sash. Tilt it in to 90 degrees and lift up out of the frame. Then remove the vinyl balance cover, it just snaps out. Then you’d disconnect the balance from the shoe. A pair of needle nose pliers makes this pretty easy, just disconnect the small metal block from the shoe. Be a little careful here as it can be under pressure. Next you’d remove the screw at the top of the balance.
Then you just do those steps backwards to install the new balance. The first time it might take you 10 minutes and if you ever did it again you’d probably do it in under 2 minutes. Good luck with the project.
Hello!
In 2003, we had two twin and one triple new construction Revere Concord Double Hung windows installed in our newly built sunroom. In 2017 and 2020, I filed two separate warranty claims with Associated Materials for two upper and two lower defective windows in the sunroom. Both claims were approved and the new windows (replacement glass only) were shipped to me. Upon receipt, I stored them in my shed, until today (05/09/2023), when, after a long search, I finally found a qualified installer in Richmond, Virginia to switch them out at my expense. When the installer removed the defective glass from the first window sash, he measured its thickness with a caliper at 13/16″. When he placed the replacement glass with new silicone in the window sash, the stays wouldn’t snap back in. And, here’s why – Associated Materials shipped me four replacement glass, each 7/8″ thick – the wrong thickness for Revere Concord DH windows. I immediately called the Associated Materials Warranty Department and explained what happened. The claims representative opened a new claim and insisted that I provide her with a serial number (9 numbers) for each window. I gave her the top number on the stickers in the window frames, which has 9 numbers, but she insisted that top number is not the serial number. I reminded her that both claims in 2017 and 2020 were approved with that same number on the sticker. I also gave her the “product numbers” from the original invoice, but she said they weren’t helpful. I was very frustrated at this point, because she said she couldn’t reorder four new replacement glass, 13/16″ thick, without the serial numbers. Then, she changed her mind and said, “well, we might be able to make them with the measurements included in the two original claims.” Here’s my question – did the new construction Revere Concord DH windows have serial numbers? If so, where are they located on the product? If they are not located on the product or the stickers, can they be found if I provide you with the product numbers? I don’t understand why Associated Materials cannot simply use the measurements on the stickers and make me four new replacement glass 13/16″ thick. I’m hopeful that will eventually happen. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance!
Hi Robert, I don’t know the glass thickness from a Revere Concord window as that was never a model I did much business with. I do know that ordering replacement parts based on the serial number is the best way to make sure the parts are correct.
I’m rather confident the Revere Concord windows did all come with individual serial numbers. In a double hung window you’d find the serial number by lowering the top sash and looking up into the top of the frame. There you’ll typically find a white sticker with a big bold number on it. Usually it’s three numbers then a dash then six numbers.
If you don’t find it there the next most likely place would be on the top of the top sash. So you’d lower the top sash and then look down onto the top of the top sash.
At the end of the day 7/8″ and 13/16″ are pretty close. I don’t think a difference of 1/16″ would prevent the glazing bead from going back in so there might be a way to just use the glass you have. During the original manufacturing the workers at the plant use small plastic hammers to tap that glazing bead into place. It can sometimes seem like it’s not going to go, but it does. If the manufacturer says that’s the correct size for your windows I’d think they’re probably right.
I hope everything works out for you.
Have a LR bay window with cloudiness in middle window so has failed. No stickers to identify window but has serial #210-936569, PO 6487, and date 02/25/11. Also AWCSE 1148-01. Is this a Revere window and is there tel # to file claim?
I couldn’t say for sure with that info, but there is a warranty link on their website. You can always try to file a warranty claim and see what happens. Or you might be able to call the warranty department with that serial number to see if it’s their window. It does look like a similar format so it’s certainly possible.
