Hello:

I need 2 replacement window sash balancers for my small Non-Tilt bathroom window. Attached are the images of the existing damaged balancer...

It seems to be 14 Inches long and with a 1/2 inch track. The top looks to be a "19-005" but I am unsure of the bottom & Series..

Please get back to me so I may place an order for the replacement 2 units.

Regard Pierre

Good morning, Pierre! These pictures are great. I think you're looking at a Series 385 here, though I'd like you to confirm that the length of the metal channel is 14". For a stamp that reads 14-2, I would think the metal channel length would actually be 15". Double check and let me know!

Great. In that case, our S385-15 looks like a good match. Let me know what you think.

Paul,…
What weight setting do I use?
It is a small vinyl type bathroom window 18 x 22 ish??
"1410" or "1420"
Thanks Pierre

Considering your stamp is 14-2, I'd go with 1420. You might want to weigh your window sash to make sure that it meets the rating shown for that option, though, just in case.
