Window Balancer

Question

Hi I am looking to replace my window balancer and was wondering which balancer would match what I currently have. The balancer length is 29" and has a code of 28C on it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, thank you for posting,

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380 or S385 channel balance. You’ll 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 will need a 29" balance and the 28C stamp should translate to a 2830 stamp option that can support a 16 to 23 lb window sash. We recommend weighing the sash to confirm.

Let us know if you have any questions!
