Thanks for posting. The only difference between the Series 380 and Series 385 is the 'depth' of the bottom nylon shoe. The depth is the distance between the 'heel' and 'toe' of the bottom shoe. For the Series 380, this depth is 1". For the Series 385, this depth is 1-3/32". As far as the correct stamp option goes, the weight ranges for each stamp option are pretty specific, so it's best to obtain the exact weight of the sash to know what option to select. You said you ordered the 2010 option, but if your window weighs more than 8 lbs this will prove too weak a calibration. But there's more: the stamp code on your old balance of 20 5 conforms to our stamp option of 2050, which is for a window sash in the weight range of 23 through 27 lbs. Did these balances work normally before they broke (i.e. you could open and close the window normally?). If so, then 2050 is the correct stamp option. If you're uncertain though, get the exact weight of your window sash. You can then match that precise weight with one of the weight ranges listed alongside each stamp option on the product page. If you need to return any incorrect balances, see our Return Policy here. |
