More Great Information on Sash Chain:
Double Hung window without counterweight?
My house was built around 1950 in Massachusetts. It was double-hung windows that do not appear to have counterweights, rather some sort of friction system. Is this possible? All of the window DIY articles I've found assume there is a counterweight that used to have a weight and pulley.
And why rope? I remember sash chains where I used to live that seem ideal for the job.
In any case, some of the windows stay put. Some do not so I have to prop them up. And on one it's stuck, also there is some sort of rod with some helical thing on it that came out of the stile on one side. How do I repair that, until I can get around to having the windows replaced?
Meanwhile the former owner had a few windows replaced in the 1980s with something vinyl and double-paned. None of those stay up any more. I don't think they have counter-weights either. What kinds of repairs would they need?
Sash weights were not used much after the mid 40's. Mechanical systems were considered more reliable and made it possible to ship the window to the construction site fully assembled.
The rod with a helical thing is called a tube balance. Tube balances do break occasionally, but they are easily replaced if you are at all handy. You will need to measure the length of the existing tube and any color codes off the end. You might also look at the end of the rod, sometimes there are numbers stamped on them instead of using the color system. Most local hardware stores or lumber yards can order them for you, if not there are several places on the internet that you can order them. You will need a special tool to wind the new balances (you should replace both sides at once), order the tool when you order the balances and save it for next time.
The vinyl replacement windows will have some sort of spring balance. These are often low-quality balances as vinyl windows are often sold on price. There are several different kinds, you might even find they have tube balances like the other one you are having trouble with. The balances are usually hidden behind a piece of plastic that will pop out of the window jamb with a putty knife.
