Locksmith Birmingham just had to replace an old mila gearbox (2 hook 2 roller) after adjustments fitting new gearbox to old mechanism found it to be working fine before and after putting it back in the door, then couldn’t get the euro to fit through the gearbox discovered that on one side of the gearbox the hole for euro was slightly smaller had to file around to allow fitting anyone else had this problem?

Had this one a while think it was West Midlands Hardware, you would think it would be the same but it wasn’t I generally only keep one of each gearbox and replace when I’ve used, it was just a midges out but enough to stop cylinder going through but just on one side. Never had problems before with this or any other supplier in regards to gearboxes.

I’ve had dual colour cylinders of them in the past and the key wouldn’t work on one side of the lock, stopped getting cylinders of them since that, I’ve just checked the replacement for the one I used and that’s fine well it seems it.

I tried those cheap Chinese duals of them when they first came out. Probably the only cylinder I was actually worried to fit! Had a customer two days ago with a Ucem KW Mpl 3DB on a composite door who couldn't lock it.

The key turned too easily and on checking the cylinder the cam was broken. It just span around no key needed. The first two new cylinders I tried worked ok but the operation was not smooth.

I removed the mpl, checked it, greased it, and it worked ok with the multitool, but still a little heavy to turn. When locksmith Birmingham put it back in I checked to make sure it wasn't tight fitting and used an Iseo cylinder.

The door locks now but I'm a little wary that the mechanism is asking a lot of the cylinder cam to make it operate. I think I'll be going back when it breaks again in the future.

I’ve found the on fitting these if its tight turning key/ stiff remove some of the material from above and below centre case as linkage is on a cranked arm and fouls on cut-out.

Also had one were pocket needed making slightly wider as fouled casing once in door. I have to change about 20 or so cock spur handles on a job for a regular client.

The handles are riveted on. I done a few of these before by taking out the glass and using self-tappers then grinding the back down. They are a badly designed and manufactured window system. The glass would crack if not removed before using a self tapper screw.

I heard about an epoxy resin to fix them, but not seen anything. Anybody come across this before, any ideas the hinges are riveted on as well, lot of work to change a handle.

Probably easier to just rivet the new ones on as well isn't it drill old rivets out and re-rivet? Are these upvc or crittall windows? Ali or critall not sure probably ali new rivets would break glass If you thinking of removing the glass I would rivet the handles. Locksmith Birmingham said not a big job though.
