Window Balance Question
I have double hung windows. The pane is 28 pounds. The existing channel balance is 24" long and is hooked on an opening below a screw hole (see picture 4). The screw hole is 1" above the opening, so do I get a 24" long replacement, or do I get a 25". Thanks

Spiral balances possibly from the 1940s - need help correctly replacing these
The bottom sashes (the only sashes I'm working on as the upper sashes are painted shut and won't be used anyway) are 9.4 lbs. The tube is 28" long and the diameter is 5/8". Thanks so much!
