I live in a 2007 Redman Manufactured Home in Yuma, Arizona. I need to replace channel balances and guides. The balance is 1/2 inch wide and 27 inches long. I have reviewed your videos on how to measure the balance properly. I think the balance is either a S380 or S385? The guide looks like a 18-176 stepped sash guide, Alpine? Can you tell me which balance and guide to purchase from you guys? I can take more pics and measurements, whatever you need!

Hi Clifford. I agree with you, your channel balance looks like either a S380-27 or S385-27. The only difference between these two Series is the 'depth' of the bottom nylon shoe. With the Series 380 the depth of this nylon shoe is 1", whereas with the Series 385 it is 1-3/32". Compare with your own and see what is best.
Once you know which balance to select, you must choose a stamp option. Your stamped number of 26 3 conforms to our stamp option of 2630, which is for a window sash in the weight range of 13 through 19 lbs. Let us know if you have any questions.
As far as your top sash guide goes, I believe you mean the 18-171 Alpine Guide. I can't say for sure if this is your top sash guide without seeing it from the front as well; but it does look like a promising match. Look over the dimensions on the product page to confirm. Keep in mind with the 18-171 that sometimes it has a higher top than the guide its replacing, but in these situations you can just cut the top off a little to get it to work.
Glad we can help! Let us know if have any other questions.
