replacement balances

Question

Hello,

I need two replacement balances for two different windows. One of the balances measures 15 inches long and the other measures 27 inches long. They are both 1/2" wide balances. I only need one "side" for each length but if they should be purchased in a set that is fine with me. I have also attached a picture of the existing balances.

The 27 inch balance has an imprinted stamp of 2630. The 15 inch balance has a printed marking of "14 3 GQ Caldwell".

Is this enough information with which to place an order? Thank you.

Your sizes and stamps look good but I cannot determine the series you need from your picture. It looks like our S380 replacement balance series but I am not certain without seeing close up photos of the attachments of both ends of the balance. Take a look at the S380 balance and see if the fittings match yours. The S380 balance is made up of the 15-005 shoe and the 19-005 top.

If you agree that you have the S380 series balance order S380-27 with the 2630 option and the S380-15 with the 1430 option.

You can purchase just one balance but I recommend replacing both balances in your window so that both balances have equal strength.
