Verify Channel Balance

Quick Learner from California
Hello,

I will be calling in Monday morning.
Just want to verify if "S380-13" is the right part I need for a replacement part for the sides of my windows.

See attached photo.

Not sure on the option. The window panel is not heavy (it's vinyl bathroom window), but is it a safer call if I go for the 1220 option instead of the 1210?

Thanks for posting. I can't tell if the Series 380 is a match or not. It really depends on the style and size of the nylon caps, and I can't make them out from your picture. As long as they match the 19-005 and 15-005 though then you should be okay.

As for the option, you usually want to go by the stamp on your old balance. If you don't think the old stamp is accurate though, then I recommend weighing your sash on a scale and referring to the chart on the S380-13 store page. It's not always a good idea to go heavier, since it is totally possible to have a balance that is too strong. If it's too strong, you'll find it difficult to close the window. In some cases, the window will even drift up after it's closed.
