What hardware should I order?

Home Owner from Plymouth, CA
Hello, I have several windows that are becoming very difficult to open. In the photos, I've put the numbers and sizes of the windows. The first window is 35"x70.5" and has HLC30-48x96 and 3230 bs1na stamped. The second one is 46"x58.5" and has HC35-54x95 and 2690 bs1na 29 stamped. Any help of what to order would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello there! Thank you for reaching out to us. We'd be happy to help with this. However, we'll need more information to help determine what you have here. Can you remove an undamaged balance assembly from the window and show us some photos? The video below will detail what we'd like to see.

The first window is 35"x70.5" and has HLC30-48x96 and 3230 bs1na stamped and is 33" long. The second one is 46"x58.5" and has HC35-54x95 and 2690 bs1na 29 stamped and is 27" long.

I can't identify your hardware from these numbers, sadly. See photos of the balance and its fittings as requested above is the only way for us to to assist.

Were the photos I attached not helpful?

I'm sorry. I'm realizing there was an error uploading all the photos the first time. I am trying again now.

Thank you very much for the photos! They're a huge help. Our Series 395 appears to be a good match. For the 33" balance stamped 3230, you can select the 3230 stamp option. As for the 27" balance stamped 2690 29, the 29 may indicate the sash weight but we recommend you weigh the window sash to confirm. If it's indeed 29 pounds, you can select the 2650 stamp option for your replacements. A pair of balances with this stamp will support a sash weighing 26 to 30 pounds.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for the response. The window weighs 25.4lbs. Should we order something other than the 27" 2690 stamped balances?

In that case, you'd want the 2640 stamp option. A pair of S395-27 balances with this stamp can support a sash weighing 19 to 26 pounds. I'm not sure I understand your question though. Is there anything else broken in the window? You can inspect the hardware such as the top sash guides and take out clips to see if they're in good shape or if they need to be replaced. We've also related a few videos on this page that you may find helpful.

I was wondering if we should order different balances due to the lighter weight. You answered my questions:) thank you!
