Re: Metal Window Channel Balance Replacement

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380-28 or S385-28 channel balance. You need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. You'll also need a 2740 spring strength option for the balances that you purchase. 

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Comparison of the S380 and S385 balance shoes.

If your bottom balance shoe measures close to 1-3/32" as you mentioned, then you may want to go for the Series 385 balance. Take one more look and confirm your measurements match up with ours. If everything looks good then you should be ok to go. 

If the part happens to not work out for you, you may review our full return policy here.

Hello! I'm very glad to hear that our Series 385 worked for you. As for the additional parts you need, I'll go through them one at a time. Looks like your photos came in reverse order, so we'll be going from right to left.

• This part is known as a top sash guide. In terms of design, yours looks very similar to our 18-166. However, you'll have to compare our dimensions to your own to confirm that they line up.
• I'm not sure what this part is called, exactly. I've always called it a "J Guide." Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a good source for it. I'm afraid that we can't supply it at this time.
• We don't sell screen retainers like this. They're hard to supply since every company has their own idea of how they're meant to be designed, and even then they change that design every couple years. Because of this, we recommend using smaller individual clips like our 70-180 along with a 33-020 screw and distributing them evenly around your screen. This is how they did it back in the day and it's a method we believe still works well.
• This screen pull looks like our 70-018, but we carry others you may be interested in. You can see our complete selection here.
• This looks like an older style latch. These aren't really made much anymore. The closest option we have is likely our 90-138, but I'm not sure if it will work. I'm sorry that we can't offer a better match.

Hopefully this information has helped. Please let me know if you have any questions about the above points.
