1850 J. Chubb Constr. Locks & Keys 27 If the tumbler was lifted any higher, it caught the bolt anew, and (by what was called ‘overlift’) detained it as securely, as if the tumbler had not been lifted high enough.

1985 Transportation Res. Rec. No. 1042 (Abstr.) The best results are achieved with a closely controlled overlift of the weld.

2000 National Public Radio (Nexis) 30 June It [sc. a feather] would sure provide a lot of lift if you had to glide. In fact, this thing's overlift. It's a better glider than it ought to be in some ways.

1833 J. Holland Treat. Manuf. Metal II. 275 His success in this attempt was not better than before, for he overlifted the detector of each lock.

1850 J. Chubb Constr. Locks & Keys 27 If the step was too long, the tumbler would be overlifted, and thereby detain the bolt.

1878 Johnson's New Universal Cycl. (new ed.) III. 82/2 After three months' trial, during which the detector was constantly overlifted, he gave up the attempt, stating that Chubb's were the securest locks he had seen.

1993 Mech. Engin. (Nexis) 115 62 In due course, levers were constructed that were double-acting; that is, they would continue to block bolt movement if they were under- or overlifted.
