Choosing the right camsash, guides, and balance accessories ensures your windows operate safely and efficiently. These parts include sash cams, top and bottom sash guides, spiral balance blocks, tilt shoes, and more,each playing a critical role in aligning sashes, supporting window balances, and preventing sash drop or binding.
What Are Cams, Guides, and Balance Accessories?
Cams are small, shaped hardware pieces that fit into window sashes to guide movement and support locking mechanisms. Sash guides help maintain correct alignment as the window moves up and down, reducing friction and preventing the sash from wobbling or coming out of its track. Balance accessories, like spiral balance blocks and tilt shoes, interact with balance rods or springs to counterbalance the sash's weight, making it easier to lift and hold at any position.
Common Applications and Compatibility
These AmesburyTruth replacement parts are designed for use with a wide range of aluminum, vinyl, and wood windows, including single-hung, double-hung, and tilt windows. They are commonly used during window repairs, refurbishments, or new installations where reliable sash movement and alignment are required. For example, a Peerless top sash guide is frequently used in metal and aluminum window systems to keep the sash properly oriented inside the frame.
Installation and Replacement Tips
Replacing these components typically requires only basic tools and a few steps. Most guides and cams are secured by screws or snap-fit into pre-formed slots in the sash. Always verify compatibility by comparing old parts to product images and specifications, and consider replacing both sides of a sash for balanced operation. For spiral balance systems, using the correct balance block for your rod diameter is essential for smooth movement and proper sash support.
