Window Parts
I have Alenco windows installed around 1984. The balance is stamped 2730. Does your product S371-28 work in the Alenco window. If so do I need the black top caps and no additional pieces? All the plastic pieces on the current windows have failed.

Balance Question
Hello, my windows have the 2740 28" S350 window balance installed. Several windows have become too stiff to close down! I weighed the sash and found it to be 19lbs, which qualifies for either the 2730 or 2740. So I ordered the 2730 and 2740 to try them out. The best seems to be in between. So the qu ... (cont.)

parts for gapco windows
good day... I am needing some parts for gapco windows. This house was built in 1987, so I assume that is the year the windows were made, or thereabouts. I have studied your different parts for different series of Gapco windows and I am quite sure that the windows are series 385.
