Description
These square weights utilize our groove lock design. The square shape allows for maximum weight in a given cross section, excellent for large residential and commercial sash.
The groove lock design addresses several drawbacks associated with stackable weights:
- In the old stackable system, you must release the chain every time you add or subtract a weight – a real pain when fine tuning a sash. By simply “clicking” together, the new groove lock weights eliminate having to release/refasten the chain with every adjustment.
- Because the chain is fastened to the uppermost weight and subsequent weights are clicked onto the weight above, you avoid the cost of having to run the chain through the entire length of the stack. This one change can easily save 6′ to 10′ chain per window opening. This can really add up, especially when restoring multiple windows.
The Square Groove Lock Weights have two dimensions:
GL 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 lb are 2″ square. Used in commercial and institutional projects, for example libraries, court house etc. as well as landmark new construction utilizing large insulated units.
GLS 1, 3, 5 lb are 1-3/4″ for larger residential projects .
When selecting weights remember; the weight cross section shouldn’t exceed the thickness of your sash by more than 1/8″. Following this rule will ensure that the weights will have adequate clearance and will not collide with one another. This condition is unacceptable and can cause the window to not function.
Case pricing assures our customers the very best price. We keep all three sizes in stock for immediate shipment.
