About the screws that hold the primary part (the one with the retraction mechanism) to the wall, how far apart are they when the unit is installed?

Honestly, I don't remember the exact distance, 2.5 to 3 inches, I think. However, I suggest orienting the two screws vertically so they can both go into a stud. The cover can be rotated any amount needed to place the holding screws at the bottom.

5" to 5 1/4" [a little hard to measure with rounded mounting screw top at the exact center, when installed! ;-)]

No. If you used screws, they would pull out because of the pull/movement from opening and closing the unit.

yes you just need to unscrew to top two screws. BEWARE the unit will fall off the wall once the screws are loose.

The screw isn't visible unless you're up close and looking for it. The chrome plate sticks out from the wall about 1/2 inch. There's a screw at the 6 o'clock position on the bottom, however, it's not on the flat part of the face of the plate, but on the underside edge. Ours hangs vertically and they look very nice.

They have not pulled out as of yet. It have 2 1/2 years since installation and have not required tightening or re torque of mounting screws.

From center of one screw to center of the other screw is 9 inches. The unit is 12 and 3/4 inches wide. Looks great and holds up well.

My hardware came with 3 different pairs of screws. One pair is 1-3/4" long. My door is 1-1/2" thick, so I used the shortest pair in the package.

Mine is 9 and 3/4" , so I recommend not installing the top one, or just buying a single sliding unit.

The lower part is probably 3/4" and the upper part 1". The pole is retractable so there is a fairly big screw handle half way up.

I didn't measure them,but I thought the same...instead I countersank the screws.Better,as the screw head is not visible! Hope this helps

At the knob ends, it protrudes 3" from the wall, 2 3/4" when measuring to the bar. I hope this helps.

Well the larger angled screws are for the pull out piece to anchor onto - so they go onto the opposite wall. The small headed screws need to be fastened into a wall with anchors or a stud or a wooden wall - you can't just screw them into plain plaster. There are these handy screw in anchors available at the hardware store that work great. It needs to be sturdy because it is under tension. Love my unit!

There are one and three-fourths inches from the center of one mounting screw to the center of the other mounting screw. Hope your studs are real close together!

Yeah I measure 2" from the wall including my wall plate. There is a slight gap and the unit is about 1-5/8". I took a picture but don't know where to post it.

What are the dimensions (specifically the height) of the mounting brackets that attach to the wall?
