Hi, my one window channel balance for a milgard broke and I need replacements. It states 32-3 and the channel length is 33". What else am I missing? Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out! I am confident we can supply you with the replacement balances needed to complete your repairs but I'll need to confirm a few more details to confirm the correct one.

May I please see a photo of the center of the balance, where the pulley string and the balance spring meet? You'll likely need to locate an undamaged balance to obtain this photo, if possible.

Please also confirm the measurement for the depth of the bottom shoe; it should be either 1" or 1-3/32". Take a look at the diagram below for reference.

Hi, the depth of the bottom show is 1 3/32" and I attached a photo of the channel.

Thank you, Jasmine, for the super quick reply.

Thanks for confirming this information. You can use the S385-33 with a 3230 stamp option to replace your existing balances.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist.
