The Challenger SR-0100S is the direct-replacement lock release component for the Challenger lift it came off of — the genuine part, same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger lock release component from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

Specifications

• Part number: SR-0100S
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM lock release component
• Fits: SRM10

The lock release cable on a 2-post lift is the small cable that runs from the release handle on the pump-side column, up and over the overhead beam (through slide blocks or pulleys), and back down the far column to pull that far column's lock pawl. Pull the handle, both pawls release, and the lift can come down. When this cable frays, breaks, or stretches so much that pulling the handle no longer releases the far pawl, the lift will only lower on one side and hang up on the locks on the other side.

Check your lift's serial before ordering

The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift.

Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.

Also check

• Both lock pawls — broken, chipped, rusted, or with rounded engagement faces
• The pulleys or slide blocks the cable rides on — deep grooves worn in the plastic
• The clamp at each cable end — still intact, not slipping
• Return spring on the far-side pawl — a weak return spring means the pawl does not re-engage after release

Confirm both locks engage before putting a vehicle on the lift. A lift that only locks on one side is a lift that drops one side under load.
