I'm afraid I cannot identify what you have based on this information alone. Those stamps you gave me are not used to identify anything other than the spring strength. I recommend that you look at our Channel Balance Home Page and follow the steps in order to find the Series that best matches what you have.
Speaking of the spring strength, you only want the option that best matches your sash weight. In your case, I would go with the 21" long balance, 2040 option (for the 20-4 stamp) and the 16" long balance, 1520 option (for the 15-2 stamp). Stronger isn't always better, and in fact a spring that is too strong will prevent your window from closing. You can always weigh your sash on a scale to confirm exactly what will work best. |

I don't believe our balances are 1" longer than yours. Based on your stamps of 20-4 and 15-2, your balances should be 21" and 16" long, respectively.

If your metal channels are, indeed, 20" and 15", then that's what you want. However you will need to weigh your sash on a scale to confirm the best option, since your old stamps won't correspond to what we have.
I'm not sure why your balances are sized the way they are. I wonder if they were cut down before they were installed originally. |
