Window balancers

Quick Learner from Colorado
Hi,
The 32inch is a 9/16 and holds a non tilt window weighing 39lbs

The 26 inch is also a 9/16 and a non tilt 28lb window

Let me know if you need more details.
Thank you,
Mike

Take a look at our selection of half-inch channel balances. Compare your plastic end pieces to the Series we offer, and identify which you need. If two Series look identical to you, you can usually compare the size of the bottom shoes to tell which one you need.

Once you identify the Series, choose the length. This is determined by the length of the metal channel by itself. For a stamp reading "26 4" you should have a (this is weird, just trust me) 27" channel. The "32 3" should measure 33". Double-check your lengths. Order a balance based on the length of the metal, regardless what stamp it shows.

Once you select a Series and length, you will see a selection called the "option" that you need in order to place the item in your cart. The option is determined by the weight of the sliding window pane (known as the "sash"), based on the chart in the balance description. Your stamps suggest that you need a 2640 and a 3230, but a 3230 would be pretty low for a 39 pound window, so double check that weight. Order based on the weight and the chart, not the stamp.
