About Window Balance Installation

Oil tempered carbon steel torsion spring Zinc plated variable pitch spiral Metal zinc diecast fixing plug Tough ABS polymer outer casing available in Black Corrosion resistant stainless steel sash foot plate.

Can I install window balance on my own?

In most cases, replacing your window's balances is not a particularly difficult project, and we find that it is something a homeowner with relatively little hardware experience can accomplish. We offer detailed tutorial videos to help. If you would prefer assistance, we recommend that you contact a local professional.

What is the purpose of window balance?

A window balance is a somewhat hidden window component sitting inside the window frame. It's only found in double hung or single windows and assists you with the weight of the sash as you open and close your windows. They also hold the top sash of double hung windows closed while they're not in use.

FAQ

What is the HWP-251 Sash Cam used for?

The HWP-251 Sash Cam is a window hardware component used in sash and window balance systems. It helps connect or engage compatible window components to support proper window operation.

How do I know if the HWP-251 Sash Cam is compatible with my window?

Check the part number on your existing sash cam and compare its shape, dimensions, and connection points with the HWP-251. Confirm compatibility with your window balance system before ordering.

When should I replace a window sash cam?

Consider replacing a sash cam if it is cracked, worn, damaged, or no longer engages properly with the corresponding window hardware. Inspect the related balance components as well.

Can I replace the HWP-251 Sash Cam without replacing the entire window balance?

A sash cam may be replaceable separately if the existing window balance and other connected components are in good condition. Verify that the replacement part is compatible with your specific system.

Compare the replacement with the original part, check the connection points, and inspect the surrounding window hardware for wear or damage. Follow the appropriate installation instructions for your window system.

The tools required depend on the window design and how the existing hardware is secured. A screwdriver or other basic hand tools may be needed. Check the original assembly and installation instructions before beginning.

How can I determine whether the HWP-251 or another sash cam is the correct replacement?

Compare the manufacturer's part number, physical shape, dimensions, and engagement mechanism with the original component. If you are unsure, contact U-Build-It Aluminum Centers with the existing part number and photos of the hardware.
