This classic lock was widely used in residential doors until the mid-2000s and, while it is no longer part of Mila's current UPVC door lock range, it remains available from the original Italian manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdentification and Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentifying a classic Mila UPVC door lock is straightforward once removed from the door, thanks to its distinctive gearbox shape with triangular corners. However, recognizing it while still installed can be challenging, as various door and window companies have rebranded these locks. You may find stamps from brands like Coldseal, Barratt, Iseo, or Swiftframe, but rest assured, they all share the same underlying mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGearbox Configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMila gearboxes come in both latch-only and latch-and-deadbolt configurations, with options for single or double spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatch Only Versions\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable backsets: 25mm, 28mm, 35mm, and 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatch and Deadbolt Versions\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle spindle (92mm PZ) available in 35mm and 45mm backsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble spindle available only with a 35mm backset, featuring a 70mm\/92mm PZ measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the variety in backsets and operational options, the dimensions of Mila gearboxes are largely consistent, measuring 233mm high and the backset + 20mm wide.

Replacement gearboxes are now only available with inline connectors, but they remain compatible with older locks. Adapting the drive gear behind the faceplate is necessary, which involves cutting a square hole in the drive gear to create a slot for proper functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Instructions: Lift Lever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Lock the Door:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure the locking points and main deadbolt (if applicable) by turning the key.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Unlock the Door:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlock the system by turning the key.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Mila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpindle Size: 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Gearbox: Passive lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpindle: Single 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanding: Non handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 2120mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor Material: UPVC, Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Guidelines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure proper fitting and compatibility, here are some quick tips on how to measure the essential components of your door lock:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackset Measurement: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo measure the backset, take a ruler or tape measure and measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the keyhole.
