which balance to order?

A quick learner from CA says:
I have a Milgard double hung window that does not tilt out. The balance stamp says:
20 4 EW CMC 11. The balance is 21" long. There are a couple of shoes that look similar but since they are attached I can't get great measurements. I think it's a 21" 380 Channel or possibly the 385. Can you help me order the right part? Thanks

Hello,

I agree that with this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380-21 or S385-21 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. You'll also need 2040 spring strength options for your replacement balances.

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
