There should be a number stamped on your channel that gives a clue of which of our options you need. If not, or if you aren't sure what your stamp represents, you can cut to the chase and simply weigh your sash. That's all a stamp is, after all: an indicator of how much weight your balances can support. We have a chart on the S385-21 page that lists each option and how much weight each can support. All you have to do is cross-reference your sash weight to that chart.

Thanks Tom
The number stamped on my channel balance is:
20 4 AW CMC 4
What options do I need?

Is Product Code: S385-21 a complete product (everything assembled)

A stamp of 20 4 usually corresponds to our 2040 option, but I still think it's a good idea to weigh your sash just in case.

The S385-21 comes completely assembled. See the video below for installation instructions.
