The Pinnacle Block & Tackle Balance System uses a pawl locking feature designed to eliminate dependence on specific pocket geometry for the balance to lock properly. The design allows for a direct pivot bar interlock with the steel channel, which the company reports aids in achieving a higher load rating, provides more manufacturing tolerance, requires less space inside the jamb pocket and alleviates the need for multiple t-lock variations. It can be installed with a twist and turn in or out of the jamb.

The GiantQuad roller has an 1,100-pound capacity that can accommodate doors up to 2,200 pounds. A 3-inch wheel diameter is designed to ensure smooth operation, and precision bearing components further reduce operating force. The company reports the roller is AAMA 906-18 certified.

AmesburyTruth launched Pinnacle, a block and tackle balance for use in hung windows. The universal mounting clip allows for installation into existing specifications, while still fitting in most standard window profiles. The product yields a reliable lockup directly into the balance that minimizes zing-ups and offers a stronger pivot interlock system, leading to increased window performance ratings, more forgiving manufacturing tolerances, and highly efficient window assembly, say officials.
