Hello, this is Jason.
I have 8 windows that are all the same and they need new balances. I have attached pictures of both of the ends of the balance currently in there now. The balance measures from metal edge to metal edge 29". It is the 1/2" (or 9/16") wide balance. The window sash is roughly 19-20lbs. The bottom clip is about 1 1/16" tall in the balance. The numbers on the balance read 28-4 LX CMC 7. I hope this information helps and you help me right the right one. Thank you and hoping to hear back really soon so I can get these ordered.
Need help finding the right replacement balances for windows.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for writing in! Your channel balance appears to be the Series 395 Channel Balance with a winged top and and a wingless bottom shoe. Since your channel measures 29", you'll need the S395-29.
Since your sash weighs 19 - 20lbs, you'll need to select the 2830 stamp option. This stamp can support a sash weighing 16 to 23lbs. Although, I would suggest double checking the sash weight given your stamp.

Hi Jasmine,
What is the suggested weight given my stamp on the old one? I'm just curious. Because I did measure 2 of them and the difference between me alone on the scale and me holding the sash on the scale, was 19 lbs.

Hi Jason,
I wouldn't be able to confirm the weight range that your existing stamp can hold, especially since it isn't the exact same. However, if I were to cross-reference it with our stamps, that would be our 2840 stamp option. This can support a sash weighing 23 to 28lbs.
