Channel balances (2) are missing from noon till window

Handy Person from Florida

I would like to buy 2 window channel balances for a fairly heavy Florida window unfortunately I do not have either of the channel balances that were in there to go by. I know the metal part of the channel needs to be 27 in Long. I have a photo of a window very similar which has channel balance code of 28f however this window is 31 in Long. I can safely assume that the plastic ends are the same and I have pictures of the ones off of the 31 inch long window which is approximately the same weight as the one I need.

The width of the metal portion of the channel appears to be 1/2 inch possibly a little bit thicker. I would like to buy two and have them shipped to my home if there's any way you can determine the ones I need. feel free to leave a phone number that I can call you at when I'm not working

Thanks for posting! If the balance in your photos here have the same nylon ends as the one you need, then I think our Series 380 would be a good match. This comes with the 19-005 top and 15-005 bottom, so as long as those match you should be okay.

Since there is no old stamp to go by, you'll need to weigh your sash on a scale and refer to the chart on the S380-27 store page to confirm the best match.

I see you were looking at our S800-27; this will not work as a replacement since it is too skinny. You mentioned that your metal channel is 1/2" wide, but the S800-27 is only 3/8" wide.
