Milgard balance

A handy person from CA says:
I need some replacement balancers for my non tilt Milgard windows.

The current ones have 26 5 IV CMC 8 printed on them - the length is 27" (measured using the example from your video).

The ends are also quite similar to the examples in your video - windows are aprox. 20 years old

Good morning! Based on your images, I recommend our S385-27 channel balance. This has a 19-005 top and 15-004 bottom nylon fitting; as long as your measurements match the dimensions we show for these pieces, then I'm confident that our S385-27 will repair your window.

Hello! That option indicates to us how strong the spring needs to be. Since your old stamp is "26 5," I recommend using the 2650 option.

Thanks Tom! Ordering now

Tom -

Your site is asking me to list an "option" associated with my S385-27 - What option should I select? Options include examples like "2610, 2620, etc."
