Broken balance - Milgard Window 2003

Home Owner from Cedar Rapids, Iowa
This window is a double hung vinyl window with a fixed top window with the bottom window moving up and down. The balance is on the right side of the window; see photos attached of balance with identifying numbers.  The string inside has broken as well as the spring being unable to move. I cannot remove the window to show you the inside balance on the other side because I will not be able to get the window back into the frame. I contacted a local window company to help and they never called me back. Milard does warranty these windows as I am original homeowner, but not for the balances after 20 years As it is considered a wear and tear issue. The measurement of the metal balance part is 27 inches, not including the plastic clips on each end.

Hi there!

Thank you for reaching out to us. Your balance looks like a match for the S380-27 or S385-27 with the 2640 stamp option. The best match depends on the depth of the bottom shoe, as shown below.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
