I have some old doors that the hole for the latch assembly is a round shape. Can I use the old latch assembly with the knobs?

I believe you are describing the hole that the spring-operated latch (plunger) goes into? The new doors don't have a "dead-bolt" mechanism that must be retracted to open and extended to "latch". The latch is "D"-shaped, 5/8" wide and needs the striker plate to prevent damage to the door jamb and the vertical flat on that plate to "latch". You might glue a piece of wood (cut from a dowel rod of appropriate diameter) into the round hole, but your door jamb and opening would wear excessively.

absolutely. i had my husband put a "hasp latch" on mine. we also joined two gates together with hinges. the panels that I didn't want to bend, we added metal straps. Hope this helps! I love mine once we modified it.

We used these to replace the original hinges in our house. The original inges were a different brand and color. The screw holes matched up perfectly. While I am not 100% sure, i think the screw pattern is standard for hinges of the same size and design (i.e. rounded corners).

I believe that you can. The latch is designed to go on both left and right opening doors. However, in your case the latch and hasp will need to be reversed from the usual install. This might work it might not. I can't tell without seeing your setup. My advice is you get it and try and see if it can be installed. If not then return it.

That's exactly what I did because I needed the door to open to the left. I also replaced the latch with a magnetic one and a simple knob.

It will work fine with a round lever hole. The button is actually round, and will cover the old lever hole perfectly. I had a square opening and was worried, but it even covered the corners. Great buy no regrets! Installed 3 in my home.

I had to buy a screw at the hardwear store. Then I drilled a hole in the center of the lid to fit the screw,and the screwed the knob on. (old know was somehow stamped on).

Hello. The covers are for standard door knobs. Here is a link for installation and information from Munchkin. http://www.munchkin.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/Door%20Knob%20Cover%20Installation.pdf

As I recall, the measurements for the hole placements were included in the product description. I measured the holes in the old hinges and they were the same. The important thing here is that the corners are the same radius. Good luck!

Yes, the knob is actually not installed and the shaft is 1/4" round divided in the middle so the old style knobs with the metal reinforcing in the center will also work. Any 1/4" round knob should work.

You are correct. But they function well in either case and I don't find this objectionable, particularly when the doors are not within sight of each other. A round knob or a lever handle that was straight and at a 90 degree angle to the door edge would be the only way to avoid this. Many passage sets for interior doors and locksets for exterior doors have lever handles that curve and point up or point down depending on whether they are installed on a right-hand door or a left-hand door.

Depends on the door knob and what size it is and the shape. Most door knobs you should be able to get in there will the screw driver bit.

I wouldn't think so. These are definitely round. With square bannister you might be better off attaching a block of wood to the bannister and then attaching the gate to that. Or there are other adapters that are made for square ones. Hope this is helpful!

If it's a tiny door knob. This goes in a 3/4" hole. The only door knob I ever replaced required a 2-1/8" hole.

You can put any door that you use with regular locks. Can you change to setup de lock to open to left or right side!But remember that probably you cannot use in your old door holes. You have to close the holes and then make news to your new lock. I canoot buy other door, I did that, is better, but i cant do that if you want!

The round part fits in the hole, but the screw holes on these do not align with the old holes - you will have to drill 2 more holes. Don't know why. Other replacements I bought had the screw holds on the door side in the center of the place. These holes are offset just a tad. Other than that they fit. For new installation they should be fine-- I just don't want to be re-drilling all the time. Actually I want all these euro-hinges gone from the house, but there must be 60 of them all told. Seems like at least one or two have broken springs at any given time and make a cracking noise when opening and closing the door. I hate them... but hey, that's just me.

Anthony, I didn't install these latches, but they can certainly go on either side of the door. If you mean you want to change one from right to left, I don't see any problem except that you'll have to patch up the side you take it from. We bought 8 of these and they are wonderful!
