This is the genuine Challenger part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger safety latch from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40747\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Challenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine OEM safety latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA safety latch is the positive stop that keeps a raised component — an arm, a carriage, a locking device — from dropping if something upstream lets go. It's designed to do nothing at all until the moment it's needed, which is exactly why it gets ignored. A latch that's rusted, bent, or missing its spring is a latch that won't be there in the one instant it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no part on a lift where \"I'll get to it later\" is more misplaced than the locks. This is the component that holds a car over a technician's head. A rounded tooth or a sticky pawl gives no second warning — it holds until the day it doesn't. Restraint gear and safety latches are cheap and the labor is modest; skipping them to save an afternoon trades a small job for a catastrophic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat lifts this safety latch fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis safety latch fits the lift models below.

Then cycle the lift and watch the pawl catch a full tooth at every height. Because this is the lift's last line of defense, the full procedure is worth following start to finish. \u003cstrong\u003eFull step-by-step: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/autoliftserv.com\/articles\/how-to-replace-a-lift-lock-ladder\/\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ehow to replace a lift lock ladder\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFind the right part for your lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not sure this part matches your setup, the fastest check is the visual breakdown: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.autoliftserv.com\/pages\/parts-lookup#mfr=challenger\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eopen our Challenger parts lookup\u003c\/a\u003e, pick your model, and match your part against the drawing where every item is numbered.

Trip it by hand and confirm it swings or drops fully into its stop, then springs clear on release. Look for bends, cracks at welds, seized pivots, and missing springs or pins. A latch that's stiff, partially seized, or bent won't reach its stop in the instant it's needed — which is the only instant it exists for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParts commonly replaced at the same time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLock hardware works as a set, so when one part is worn the others usually are too — latches, pawls, springs, and the release cable all age together. Doing the full lock rebuild on both columns at once keeps engagement even and saves a second teardown. We will assemble the complete lock kit for your model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe locking system is the last line of defense on a lift, so a worn latch or sticky pawl is a safety defect, not a nuisance. Both columns must engage and release together; if one clicks late or drags, the lift comes out of service until it is corrected. Never defeat or wire back a lock to keep a lift running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave your model and serial ready, and note whether you need parts for one column or both — even lock wear is best corrected as a set. If the release cable is stretched or frayed, order it alongside the latch and pawl. Not sure which version your lift uses? Send a photo of the old parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConfirm this is the right part before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy your Challenger safety latch from Auto Lift Services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install, inspect, and repair Challenger lifts every week — the 40747 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship.
