Hello,Looking to replace channel balances for vinyl tilt windows. I have 2 Balances Stamped: (3/07) UNIQUE 27-D-40 and (3/06) UNIQUE 27-E-50 Plain channel.  Although they're stamped 27, they measure 28 inches.Photos attached.

Hello,

Though the style is different, I believe our S795 channel balance could work as replacements for your original hardware. With that being said, make sure to confirm if the T-lock shoe has the same 1-1/4" width as the 15-195 that comes with our stock balances. 

If you're sure that the metal channel measures 28" long, not including the T-lock shoe. See the S795-28. You may be able to use the 28D strength option based on your stamp but I'd recommend confirming your sash falls within the 23-28 Ibs. range these balances will support. Thanks for posting!

The photo attached is the measurements of the T-Lock shoe on the old balance. 
Will the S795-28" still work?  ...  The total leangth of the balance with the T-Lock shoe attached is 29" 
The channel it's self is 28" X 1/2"

Since the width matches the 15-195, you should be good to go with the S795-28.
