Missing Milguard balances.

Question

There are no balances in the windows of my house. I have aluminum Milgard windows from the 1980s. The channel width is 1", the channel depth is 9/16". 2 windows have a visible glass height of 21-1/8" and a visible glass width of 27-3/4". They weigh 10 lbs. One window has a visible glass height of 21-1/8" and a visible glass width of 37-3/8". This window eighs 12 lbs. Can you haelp me find balances for these windows?

Thanks for posting. It is very difficult to say what channel balances you need without seeing them removed from the window. Could you take pictures of them removed from the window, including any end attachments and stamped numbers? Could you also measure the length of the metal channel, not including the end attachments? We should be able to narrow down what you need from there. Thanks.
