Window Balance

Thanks for your photos. Based on what I see here, you have either our S351-28 or S390-28, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. That's the only difference between them. I recommend measuring your shoe and referring to our dimensions to confirm the best match.

Comparison of the S351 and S390 balance shoes.

Series 390 may very well be what you have based on what you say, but would still check an undamaged version of your balance if you can. There are a lot of variations of this shoe that only have very fractional differences between them, but still remain totally incompatible.

Sounds good! I'll be here if you needed my assistance.

There are no 1-1/16" deep shoes to my knowledge, but it's very common for a 1-1/8" shoe to wear down from use over time. It's likely yours was once 1-1/8" when it was brand new, and its size now is just a result of friction.

As for the take out clip, odds are it's our 16-002. This style balance doesn't often use anything else. I suppose there are rare exceptions, but I can't think of any that stand out at the moment. 16-002 is very, very common.

Great! I'm glad you concur.

As for this second balance, assuming that the nylon fittings are identical to what you've shown me so far, then that balance would be the S390-35.

Great! I feel confident in my recommendation, then.

If you had any other questions regarding this or any other project, you know where to find us.

Hello, Raheel. Yes, that's a top sash guide. Yours in particular appears to be a match for our 18-166, but review our specs just to confirm.

Thanks! Would our 18-009 be closer? This is 1-11/32" tall, which is only a little bit off from 1-5/16".
