Determining channel balance length
I am installing channel balances on a window in a rental unit. The prior balances are not available for reference. What is the best way to measure length for a new balance? Is it a problem if the balance is too short? Thank you.

S385-13 Channel Balance, but 13-5/8" long
Hi, it looks like a pair of S385-13 channel balance would work for me but I have one concern. The metal part of the old balances measures 13 5/8" instead of an even 13". Is that enough of a difference that the 13" balances wouldn't work? Thank you!

S385-13 Channel Stamp 12E U.S.B
I am trying to replace a channel balance and am pretty sure that it matches your S385-13 product. The only question I have is that my current stamp is a 12E U.S.B. with a sash weighing approx. 12-15 lbs. Do you have a channel to match that weight? Thanks, Reda

poor performing balances
I just got 18 S385-13 channel balances. The balances appear to be a good match with the old parts, but upon installation of the first pair, my window is hard to lift, it sags when I let it go in the up position, and it makes a springy, boingy sound when it's moving. What is wrong? ... (cont.)
