How do I figure out balance Series?
We need to replace several window channel balances. They are 24" - 2320. The Swisco site shows this window channel available in several different series. How can I tell which series my replacement part is? I have no other identifying numbers.

Option Stamp
I'm having trouble determining which replacement balancer to order. I have several non-tilt single hung windows in my home that are stamped simply 26 4 (BSJ sideways is also stamped) PA. Do I need to weigh the sash to determine the strength of the balancers/ Thanks, Jim
