Thank you for posting! Check out our S385-28. Could this be a possible match? Make sure to carefully compare the dimensions between the bottom shoe, 15-004, and your own. Let me know what you think.

S385-28 appears to be the match! Bottom did measure a little more than an inch. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Tom! I weighed and its coming in around 18.5 Pounds. Should I go with 2730 or 2740? I can't make it out from the original stamping. You guys are awesome in providing such a quick response and great guidance for us novices.

Hey, it's our pleasure. This kind of window repair isn't hard, you just need to know where to start!

It was a good idea to weigh your sash. I agree with you, I think our 2730 might be a better choice. Were your windows harder to operate before with the 2740-equivalent strength?

Hi Tom, it felt a little tight for sure. Will order 2730s today. Many thanks.

Hello Tom,
I have a similar broken balance. 325-28 may be the right fit ( my broken part has 27 4 EU mark) . Does the balance come with the top, and bottom shoe already attached to the balance, or do I need to order them separately and then attempt to rivet it. Not very knowledgeable with rivet process.
thanks

Hello, Bob. Yes, our balances come fully assembled with the top and bottom fittings and will be ready to install out of the box.

I hope this answers your question but please let me know if you needed anything else.
