Description
Product Overview
Introducing the Millenco Lift Block, an essential component of the Millenco Mantis 1 lock mechanism. This specific version features the original tall central gearbox, easily recognized by its distinctive 117/86 PZ locking centers.
Common Issues
The Lift Block is a cast part located at the bottom of the gearbox, positioned between the Euro cylinder aperture and the back of the case. A frequent issue arises when debris becomes lodged between the cylinder's cam and the Lift Block, leading to potential cracking if the cylinder is forced. Additionally, if an excessively long retaining screw is used, it may penetrate too deeply, reaching the Lift Block and causing damage when tightened.
Symptoms of Failure
When the Lift Block is compromised, users may experience difficulty turning the key or, in severe cases, a complete blockage that prevents the lock from functioning in either direction.
Replacement Process
Replacing a broken Lift Block is straightforward. Simply remove the side plate from the case, lift out the damaged component, and insert the new genuine part.
Additional Components
It's worth noting that the spindle follower is another component prone to failure in these mechanisms. These can be purchased separately or as part of a kit that includes the Lift Block.
