Counterholder lock SCHAERER Spare Parts 3370060642

A counterholder lock holds the counterholder assembly firmly in place on the front of a commercial coffee machine. The lock engages with a matching catch or bracket on the machine frame, preventing the counterholder from lifting or shifting during operation. This keeps the portafilter aligned with the group head, ensuring consistent water flow and pressure for each shot of espresso.

The lock is operated by turning a key or lever that moves an internal bolt or cam. When locked, the bolt extends into the catch, securing the counterholder. When unlocked, the bolt retracts, allowing the counterholder to be removed for cleaning or maintenance.

To use the lock, insert the key or engage the lever and turn it to the locked position after placing the counterholder in its bracket. Ensure the lock is fully engaged before starting the coffee machine. To remove the counterholder, turn the key or lever to the unlocked position and lift the assembly away.

This spare part is designed for compatibility with SCHAERER coffee machines that use the BHP SCV counterholder assembly. It is a direct replacement for the original lock, maintaining the security and alignment of the counterholder during service.

The lock is installed in the counterholder assembly, typically on the front face of the coffee machine. Its position ensures easy access for operators while keeping the counterholder securely in place during brewing cycles.

Cleaning is minimal: wipe the lock mechanism with a dry cloth to remove coffee grounds or residue. Avoid using water or cleaning agents directly on the lock to prevent damage to the internal components.
