I need to replace a total of 3 balances from two windows and am having trouble identifying what I need. Attached are pictures of one of the balances. Window 1 (pictured) Ends = see photos Stamp = 29 4 EX CMC 4 (see photo) Length = 30" (metal rod only) Qty = 1 Window 2 Ends = same as Windo ... (cont.)

Please see the attached photos. The metal part of the balance measures 30". There is no writing on the ones I have removed. I can just barely read "MC 45" on one that is still in one of the windows. Reference the photo. As you can see from another photo of one of my windows with the balance ... (cont.)

Hello there I have a client here in north Florida with three windows that won't stay up. All three are made by Kinco and measure 47 inches wide and 60 inches tall.

We need to replace several 30" Series 385 channel balances on Kinco Windows. There is no stamp on the balance. The windows are double pane and heavy to lift when you have to prop them open with a board. Once we figure out which channel balance weight we need, we will also be ordering sash guides 18 ...

Could you please help me identify the correct parts based on the stamp on the balance. The stamp is 29 4 BS.L MH I'm not sure why this has 29 on it because when I measured it the measurements were 30' x 1/2 x 5/8 so I'm torn between 29 inch or 30 inch. I need the numbers for all the parts in m ... (cont.)

I need to replace several 30 inch window balances. 5/8" wide, 5/8 " deep. Plastic ends are broken per photos. I believe your 30" series 385 channel balance, prod code S385-30 will work for me. Am I correct? Do you need overall window measurements? Thanks so much for your help. Loleita ... (cont.)

I saw another post that recommended a series 385 to replace my channel but the shoe is slightly different so I wanted to confirm. My sash weighs 33 pounds and the length of the channel is 30". I was going to go with the series 385 with the 2960 option. Can you look at the pic of the shoe I have ... (cont.)

I just installed two S385-18 option 1720 sash balances, but the window will not go in. It appears the balance channel is too tall. Now what. 2. I installed two S385-30 option 2950 balances and that window wobbles. What a day, and more windows to do. I'm the same customer missing the 2 take ou ... (cont.)

I have a 31.5lb window, well I really have 4, all needing new series 385 balances. The 2850 tops out at 32, so I would be maxing it out. I will go with the 2860 for its 32 to 35lb range. My question is will the window raise any easier with the few extra pounds of lift? Also, just out of curiosity ... (cont.)

I think I have the correct channel balance. I don't know what weight to get. The only numbers I can find stamped are 296 USB..? Also the brand window is a Clearview.I chose the 30inch series 385 channel balance product code S385-30

I am a bit confused by the weight chart... My window weighs 15 pounds on the scale... 2 new channels at 7 + pounds each ? or 15 for each side? Thanks

I mailed a window balance sample and received an automated reply from Mike T. Your package number was 23344. The balance that I sent was numbered 29 4 AX CMC 1 and you advised SWISCO balance #S-385-30 as a replacement part. I also need to replace another balance of the same design that is numbered ... (cont.)

The balance model # S385-30 is the correct model but I ordered the 2910 option and there is not enough support to keep the window up. I am sending pics of the old balance. The back of the old balance is marked " 29 5 CW CMC 10 " I thought that might be the 2910 option but that is not strong ... (cont.)

I have not yet begun to work on my NuAir single hung window bottom sash, which appears to have a broken balance on the left side. I have been studying your videos and guides, and I think I can do it. Window is about 31" H and 50" W, so might be heavy. If I take the sash out, I expect the right s ... (cont.)
