32 3 CS CALDWELL replacements

Home Owner from california
Hello,

Pls advise the correct replacements for my channel balances.

- Window looks like wood with some sort of plastic finish with double pane, weight is 20 lbs;
- stamped 32 3 CS CALDWELL
- 33" long, 1/2" width, 1/2" depth
- attach pictures show you the plastic attachments at both ends

I think it's your series 385 or 380 but not sure.

Thank You

Hello,

some additional info.

Looking at your series 380 vs 385, it looks like the difference is the shoe. Series 380 uses shoe 15-005 and series 85 uses shoe 15-004.

My existing shoe measures 1" deep, so it matches your 15-005 shoe. Looks like it's series 380, my house was built around year 2002 if that means anything.

Thanks
Tom

Thanks for posting! Yes, if your shoe measures 1" deep then the Series 380 would be your best bet. I would recommend an S380-33 with a 3230 stamp option.

Thanks for your confirmation. I ordered 4 series 380-33/3230 for my 2 windows. They work great.

My windows have add-on shutters that are inner-mounted so I could not remove the window itself, so it was quite a job to replace the channel balances with the window in place, it took 30 minutes but I managed to do it finally.
