You'll need to have the door bored to 2-1/8" diameter. This is something a good carpenter or door shop can do for you, probably beyond the ability of a DIY project.

Robert is right. The hinge takes up 1" of usable space. Make sure you line up the door with the lower door. Mine was 1/4" difference.

My opening is 39 inches and i am only using one extension. 40 inches will work with both extensions. I like it but feel for the price it should be better. The wood on mine is greenish and the side with the latch could be sturdier. The adjustable part is the problem if extended as far as it goes.

I didn't measure the opening it fit in. I just used it as a replacement for the lock/latch in my travel trailer door. After removing the old hardware the new one fit perfectly in the opening.

The critical question is if your doors are pre-drilled for the handle, and what the "set" is if so. The set is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the know hole. The two standard sets are 2-3/8" and 2-3/4". This latch is not adjustable, and is for a 2-3/8 " set door. So measure the distance, and make sure that matches what the door is. I bought these and found out afterwards that my doors were 2-3/4". Otherwise, they seem decent quality. Just make sure they're the right size.

No, they are not the same length. You would have to measure your door opening ( where your new mortise lock would be installed) , then look online for one with the same length. Sometimes the product details would have what you are looking for. (Length x width, ETC )

My observation is that they are referring to THIN metal doors as in screen or storm doors. I installed mine in a metal exterior door; about 1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches thick with no adapter and no problems. If this is the type of door you have you should have no problem either, just remember to use a fine tooth saw made for metal when you make the opening.

I just tried a lock that fits. The lock shakle width is .31 inch or 7.9 MM. The inside of the shakle length is 43.6mm when open and 29.7mm when closed. The exterior of the shakle is 2.03 in open and 1.5" when closed. I used an "American" padlock series 5200. The bottom of the opening on the container is tight but it will fit if you "push" I never locked it before but I would use a file or a "Dremel" to open the bottom of the plastic opening just a little and it would slide over easy. Saerch "American" padlock as they make great products, used by the Military and available to all. I just tried a lock that fits. The lock shakle width is .31 inch or 7.9 MM.

Dear Rick So sorry to tell you this, but whatever you do, it won't work. They keep changing their sizes in this company. Go to the local pet store and buy this where you can measure it, and then return if it doesn't fit. We're going to have to buy a WHOLE NEW DOOR to use the one we got on line. Get my drift? This is not the best way to buy a replacement flap. You'll probably be sorry. Good luck!

One of the youtube videos I watched had a method of modifying the limit switches really easily (before you install) to allow for a few more inches - I did not use this as I do not have the issue - also understand there is a diff model that has a longer rail or extension kit. I love this door and all the guys in my neighborhood have come over for a look.

It'll fit a door up to 1 and 7/8 inches. It fits all my interior doors w/ room to spare -- I padded w/ card board to make it sit tight. But it doesn't fit my 2-inch exterior doors. I really love it! Much better than the usual kind that stick out perpendicular to the door. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me again if you want! Have a lovely day, tracy

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

Depends on how wide your door is. Mine opens from the middle out so my installation is a little different. One door opens the same as before and the other doesn't open. My son installed one at his house the standard one door opens and he has about 18 to 20 inches to go out.

I notice that they don't show the back of the door on purpose. I just got the PDS-500, and the black box that is covering the works, and takes up most of the back of the door, is about 1 3/8 ". The distance from bottom, without pad, to rail is about 3 3/8. That only leaves 2" inside for stuff. So, how deep is the works plastic thing? Must be less on this one. Are you sure of your depth inside with door closed?I might be getting this one, though it does cost 75% more. Let me know. Thanks!

Call Seizmik to verify the part number. I ordered these doors for my mid size 500 and they sent me the full size doors even though amazons site listed them as fitting the mid size. The part number Is 1 # off for the mid size and full size doors. Other than that great product!

The necessary opening size for this one is 15". You would have to add some runners along the side of the cabinet to bring it to the correct size. Keep in mind this is a little more than a beginner diy project. I think you can find one that will fit your opening size better. That would be a much better solution.

One inch. If you measure flushing from the door, the deadbolt extends 1" in length. We are totally happy with this quality product.
