channel balance stamps and shoes

Thanks for posting! Please take a look at the 15-004 and 15-005 channel balance shoes, and note their dimensions. As you can see, the 15-004 is 1-3/32" deep and the 15-005 is 1" deep. All you need to do is compare those dimensions to your own shoe. Which one more closely matches your own bottom attachment?

Thanks for getting back to us! You can see the depths labelled on the product images themselves. The 15-004's depth is 1-3/32", while the 15-005's is simply 1". Is that the dimension you're measuring?

The stamps are indicative of the balance's strength--that is, how heavy a window sash your balances can support. Do you know what Series balance you have? If so, I can correlate your stamps to one of our available options.

You would have to measure the shoe itself, not the channel. Please take a look at this example picture of the 15-004.

Please note the dimension that says 1-3/32". That is the dimension that you want to check on your own shoe. Is yours 1-3/32", or 1"?

Thanks for posting! I'm sorry to hear the balances you ordered didn't work out for you. I see you ordered our S380-28, both with a 2720 and 2730 option. What didn't work with the balance? What do you mean exactly when you say that it measures 1"? Are you referring to the shoe?

Is the depth of the shoe also 1"? Or is it 1-3/32" like the 15-004? How does the S380-28 that you ordered differ from your original balances? Could we maybe see some pictures of the two side by side for comparison?

Well, the 1" 15-005 shoe is our smallest kind. If it was too big, there's not much else we can do. The only thing I can recommend is that you sand it down a little bit so that it can fit.
