Locksmiths In Bayswater had a job today to open jammed upvc door, turns out to be a mila 25mm backseat,2 hook 2 roller, latch only. Got replacement gearbox, but as usual with Mila nothing is plain sailing, had to cut part of the faceplate.
So that drive gear can operate, as the lugs on older gearbox are different to new version, it’s not the fact I had to do some work to make mpl work but it just seems any jobs involving mila I am beginning to get right annoyed with them, as there is always an issue, pure garbage,will try my upmost to not use them again. That always happens on the 25mm I'm sure the 25mm was originally a cold seal and that's why it's different when you try to put a mila one in its place but I could be wrong. They are not a shite gearbox in general - plenty of true shite ones like era/lockmaster I have seen them having been on properties 20 years with good use. Trouble comes when door drops and it gets stiff to push handles up. The follower is the weak link in these, but generally its cos door is stiff and has been for ages and customer yanks handle up with too much force.
The guy from the locksmiths In Bayswater said easy opening and easy swap. Could do them all day long, had an absolute swine of a winkhaus door to get open today (not a lockout so could get inside). Now there is a proper lock. Completely bulging out gearbox when I got it out. Had to knock out hinge pins to take whole door off to manipulate it open. Lady luck must have been smiling on me today though as many years previously someone had totally removed the upper hookbolt. Would have been a nightmare trying to yank it away from frame if still had the two opposing hooks. Still had to lift the heavy door up an inch to get it out. Customer said afterwards, oh yeah it was making a loud clicky noise whenever we depressed the handle for a few days, now you mention it. I agree with, mila are bread and butter cos of all the coldseal installations out there and all have been in the door working a considerable time before failure.
The only modification I am aware of that is required is to cut a notch in the running strip to pick up the different lug position on some of the older versions but even with this I can get them out of door changed over and back in in 10 mins, just use an angle grinder for the notch. Just a tip for a common fault on these where key turns to unlock but handles still solid, even if you spread and pick up a roller or hook, still solid, i used one of them door lifters, place under the door and bounce the weight up and down a few times whilst trying the handle, they always open. It must be an area thing. I can't remember ever doing a Mila and I do a load of Mechanisms each week. Spot-on about Winkhauses though. Locksmiths In Bayswater guy said his third job of the day was a failed Wankhaus. What a nightmare that was! Too embarrassed to tell you how long it took me to get it open. |
