The Globe 43718 safety latch is the direct replacement for the Globe lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-9428-17A, it is the genuine Globe part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Globe 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. Specifications Part number: ALS-9428-17A Brand: Globe Type: Genuine OEM safety latch Locks don't work in isolation — they depend on the release mechanism and the leveling of the lift. The lock-release cable or air cylinder pulls all pawls at once so the lift comes down even; if the lift isn't level, one pawl loads before the others and wears first. So when locks click unevenly, the cause can be the ladders, the pawls, the release, or stretched cables. Diagnose the set, not just the noisy corner. Locks fail two ways, and both are dangerous. The pawl can stick — gummed with grease and grit, or a weak return spring — so it doesn't drop into the ladder when it should. Or the ladder teeth and pawl nose wear rounded, so the pawl won't hold and can skip under load. A lock that doesn't engage, or engages and won't hold, defeats the one part standing between a raised vehicle and the floor.

Rear Lock Latch Assy $ 1,283.94 $ 1,155.54 - Globe - 43718-001 Replacing your safety latch Replacing a lock ladder or pawl is straightforward mechanical work, but it's the one repair where getting it exactly right isn't optional — the new parts have to let the pawl seat fully into a square tooth and spring home crisply every time. Set it up, then cycle the lift and confirm every lock engages and releases cleanly. Since the locks are what hold a vehicle overhead, the full procedure is worth following start to finish. Full step-by-step: how to replace a lift lock ladder. Find the right part for your lift The surest way to get the right part is to work from your lift's own breakdown. open our parts lookup, choose your model, and every part is mapped on the drawing with its number and price. If you cannot find the model plate, our guide to finding your model number explains where each lift type hides it, and our phone line is open if you want a hand. Signs the locking system needs attention Pull the release and confirm every pawl retracts together. A pawl that lags on release means the lift will come down cocked and load one corner; a pawl that doesn't retract at all will drag on the ladder. The release mechanism — cable or air cylinder — is part of the lock system, so a lock complaint that isn't the pawl or ladder is often the release. Parts commonly replaced at the same time While you are in the locking system, handle the companions: the pawl, its spring, the latch, and the release cable that operates them. Replacing one worn piece and leaving the rest just means uneven locking and another visit. Give us your lift's model and we will build the matched set for both sides. Safety notes A lift is only as safe as its locks, and locks are mechanical parts that wear — rounded teeth, tired springs, cables out of adjustment. Replace them at the first sign of uneven or hesitant engagement, verify both sides catch and release in sync, and never park a load on locks you have not tested. Before you order Do the lock job once and completely: confirm model and serial, order latch, pawl, spring, and release cable together, and do both columns if either is worn. Even, synchronized locking depends on matched hardware. Call and we will confirm the right kit for your lift before it ships. Ordering the right revision Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct. If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
