Need replacement channel balance 28 4 LW CMC 11

Home Owner from Belmont, CA
Hello,

I need a replacement for a balance stamped with 28 4 LW CMC 11.
The balance is 29" long.
The bottom shoe has a 1" depth.
The window sash weighs 19 lbs.

Thank you!

Thanks for posting. If your shoe has a depth of 1" exactly, than the S380-29 seems like the right match. Just go over all the specifications to be certain. Now I am not certain about the stamp option you should choose. Your balance's stamp code of 28 4 suggests you need a stamp option of 2840, which is for a window sash in the weight range of 23 through 28 lbs. However, if your window sash weighs exactly 19 lbs, then the 2830 option for a sash between 16 through 23 lbs is a better choice. Did you ever have trouble keeping your window closed before this? Did it ever drift open on you? If so, it's possible your balances had too strong a calibration to begin with. Either way, double check your sash weight to be safe.

Thank you! I just placed the order. I think the original balances were too strong (the window did push up a bit when fully closed).

That would certainly make sense then, and the 2830 option should perform better for a 19 lb sash. Let us know if you have any other questions, and thanks for considering our business; we really do appreciate it.
