Sash Cam for balancer needed

Many thanks for posting. I am confident we can help you, but we need more information to identify this balance properly. Channel balances are most reliably identified by the top and bottom fittings attached to the metal channel. Please send us pictures of these top and bottom attachments on your old balance. The combination your balance uses will tell us its exact identity. 

As far as the Top Sash Guide, many different guides can work with a given balance, since it also depends on the design of your window sash. To best know what sash guide you need, please give us dimensions like sketched out in the example below. These measurements should help us narrow down your options. Many thanks.

Hey there, I think I can help with this project. I am familiar with your top sash guide and in my experience the 18-188 won't work. What you have is an old Milgard brand part that's been discontinued for a number of years. We don't sell an exact alternative. You should check to see if this is a Milgard window; if so, then that would confirm it.

The good news is that even though your old part is discontinued, you should be able to use our 18-009 as a replacement. You just have to trim down the edge that sticks out around the top so that it's flush with the body. I use a utility knife, just make sure you wear safety gloves if you decide to go that route.

Lastly, please note that any product altered in this way cannot be returned for a refund. See our return policy here for more information.
