When properly installed against the drywall, besides the thickness of the flange, how flush is the locker with the wall concerning the hinge and lock?

When I installed the Stack-on wall cabinet in my house the hinge is the high spot. It sits 1/8 inch out from the wall. I hope this helps you. The hinge does run the full length of the cabinet. The lock is flush with the front of the cabinet.

Hi Dirk, The locker is very, very low profile once installed. The edges themselves only raise above the surface of the drywall the thickness of the metal. The hinge is maybe an 1/8th - 1/4 of an inch. Even the the lock mechanism is fairly flush, as I believe it is somewhat countersunk into the door a bit due to the way the door sheetmetal is stamped.

The lock itself is recessed in the door so it does not extend past the wall at all. It only sticks out the thickness of the metal. We have ours installed behind a door. The door can fully open back all the way to the wall without even touching it.

If I remember correctly it won't go that deep normally. My wall is extra thick between units, to help reduce nose a little more. I solved the problem by notching out some of the dry wall so the locking pieces can swivel out to lock the housing in the wall. It has been installed for well over a year without any problems yet.

The long shank will NOT fit into the recess / indentation in standard gym lockers. Thickness (diameter) of the shank did not seem as though it would be an issue, but the length of the lock body + shank clearly is. There was now possible way (no accessible angle at which) to insert the end of the shank through the hole in the locker release mechanism -- I tried them all, even with the (open) shank depressed into the lock body. I liked the build quality, though, so will purchase one with a normal-length shank.

I have this safe mounted horizontally, with the door to hinge down. One thing I added was some self-adhesive foam weatherstripping to the "bottom" of the safe to add cushioning and protection for my shotgun. I'm not home to measure, but pretty sure the full depth is usable.

I mounted it semi flush in the wall by cutting out a whole matching the size of the safe along a stud. I then built a stud box to line the hole and secured the safe on all 4 sides to the studs. A little spackle and paint and it is nicely installed. You need to leave it out about 2 inches to allow the door to swing open. Hope that is helpful.

My lock is parallel to the long side. It shouldn't make any difference as the latch is oriented parallel to the short side and the lock is low profile and shouldn't reduce the open flat area for storage.

No. It slides in the latch so if the latch is flushed against the wall but the gate is at an angle, you would not be able to slide it in, however if you tried installing the hardware at an angle, you'd probably make it unsafe. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't really give you a good answer. I used the hinge for a special project about 8 months ago and I don't have those specs. It installed at a location at which I no longer have access. I can only say it did the job.

It can swing a full 180* if needed. Our gate is set to open and swing from either direction. Yes it can be flush against the wall that the hinges are on.

When you say your toilet flexes, do you mean your wall flexes? If that's the case, my wall does not. I have 2 2x4's surrounding the metal frame and it's solid as a rock. Is your toilet flush against the wall?

The lock will fit the hole, depending on how wide the flange around the hole is. Basically is there a lot of metal or material around the hole? These locks are quite small.

You should already have a flange or trim against the wall. This is only to connect to the end of it.

My husband doesn't have this problem??????????? Is the guard bent? Are you setting the depth right? Maybe it is defective.

Yep, I recessed mine and it fills up the 3.5" stud, then you add 1/2" for drywall and it is about an inch protruding off the drywall. Nice cabinet.

You have to leave a gap of about 1-1 1/2 inches between the wall and the trash canl. Otherwise the lid may hit the wall if you step on the pedal too quick and the hinge could break after many times doing this.

It can go through about an inch. U haul sells them for that purpose, so yes, they would fit a locker or back of a U haul They are the best type of lock out there.

The hinge, on the one side, gives a good inch or inch and a half of clearance. The locking side is adjustable so that wouldn't be in the way of the baseboard trim.
