Hey, Howard. I'm sorry, but 727 and 827 do not match any of our balance Series. Are those SWISCO codes? If not, what kind of balances do you have? What is the brand of the window? Could I maybe see a few pictures, as well?

It sounds like maybe these could be Andersen sash balances. Can you confirm? If so, the stamps of 727 and 827 are indicative of different strengths. What are your balances currently stamped with?

No, I recommend the 24-737. This can replace balance boxes with the stamp 7 27.
