I need to replace a broken balance for my single hung window. The pictures show the broken balance. The length of the metal channel is 21 inches and width is 5/8 inches at the widest. The weight of the sash is 21 pounds. As the pics show, the top and bottom guides are both winged. I'm looking for advice on the right the Swisco parts to buy for my replacement balance.

Thanks for writing in! Your window balance can be replaced with the S378-21, S380-21, or the S385-21. To determine which of these is the correct replacement you'll need to measure the depth of your shoe.
The 2040 stamp option will support a sash weighing 21lbs.
Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.

Thank you for the response. The depth of the bottom shoe is > 1in so S385 appears to be the right match.
