Is the gap between the rosette and the door deliberate? It's half-a-finger width after installed and tightened. Other knobs make a ring-mark &amp; no gap?

There should be no gap - there was none when I installed it. Either something is not lined up right or you have a narrower than normal door.

I think you can loosen the screw that holds the knob and adjust it. I had the same issue. Kind of a goofy design.

I think the 4" measurement may be overall including the keypad and front panel. Mine fit easily depthwise. unfortunitly my studs were off by about a quarter of an inch and I had to clear some wood to do the install. Not a big deal but added to the complexity. I would suggest not using the screws provided with the unit to secure it to the studs. They are a bit small for my liking.

I haven't, but I can see where it could happen if the instructions aren't followed, or if you're not careful. Putting the right amount of tension requires finding the right spot, the right distance from the door for the base. Once I found that spot, it's simple and safe for my (cheap) knob. The bar's mechanism is pretty sturdy, so if you crank on the handle, the doorknob will give before the ratchet mechanism. Just follow the instructions, find the right spot on the floor, and you'll be fine.

You pull the gold/silver knob off the shaft. If the shaft is still too big, you will have to ream or drill it out but I believe it will fit once you pull the knob off (and lso remove the nut from the threads on the shaft). I may be mistaken but I believe the replacement I received from Angelo Brothers was defective.........It would not DIM at all....it was either on or off. They were very kind in replacing it but the 2nd still did not work, either. If I am correct, I ended up getting one (from Amazon) mad by Thomas and Betts which did work. I feel for you....disassembling the lamp in the correct manner so as not to wind the cords in a knot is a bit of a challenge. You pull the gold/silver knob off the shaft.

My installation was on/in a 6 panel door. I chose to go directly in the center of the door vs. to one side. My line of thinking was that it would create less of a problem by not getting the edge of the door to thin and possibly warping it in the future! You do notice a gap where the door panel(s) concave's, however, it is not enough so that it bothers the Mrs. or myself. Additionally, the center housing that "locks" everything together is designed in a way that the "gaps" or "concave areas" of the door are sealed. Hope this helps?

There is a 'fixed' insert that takes the opening (door width) down to 1 3/4 inches. I used two 'ice cream sticks' as shims to make up the difference and they work great.

Mine installed as the directions showed. Install the hinge in the door insert and then I had someone hold the door while I put one screw on the top and bottom hinge on the side of the unit. I then loosened the screws that are part of the hinges and closed the door and made adjustments to the gap after putting the stop pads on the corners of the door. When the gaps were correct I tightened the adjusting screws.

Because of the way this knob is designed, the inner and outer faceplates can easily be mis-aligned with one another and the latch mechanism so the operation is not "free" enough for the return spring to function properly. Also, as Mr. Hawkins indicated, the door thickness may be allowing the two faceplates to be tightened enough to bind against the square actuating shaft. You might simply try loosening the face plate screws slightly and shifting their relative positions to one another and re-tightening. If the binding worsens as you tighten the screws, Mr. Hawkins suggestion to shorten the shaft will likely become necessary.

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

It is finding the right position on the on the knob and latch part . It took me a few tries but I got it. We are very happy with it. Not sure but maybe there might be a youtube video on them or a similar one that you can watch....Donna

Those are exterior dimensions, and they are rounded up to the nearest half-inch. The actual dimensions are just a tiny bit shy of those numbers. I don't know about the model number, since it's been over two years since I ordered mine. The metal is nearly an eighth of an inch thick, so your interior dimensions will be smaller (also the interior is coated with a carpetlike, fuzzy material to prevent scratching and movement, so that takes up a little bit of space, as well). Also, the door is inset by a half-inch to discourage prying. This means your interior length is closer to eleven inches.

On some models there are "outside" & "inside" trims (knobs). The inside knob will have a hole or slot in the base. The outside knob needs firmly seated, try using the palm of your hand and and striking it.

Hi Leslie. Sorry for the delay. Yes is my answer to your question. Cabinet pulls and knobs are fairly standard and with the spacing of 4.25" you should be able to align this tool correctly on your doors and drawers. No matter the template, measure twice before drilling your holes and use a pencil marking. Them put the hardware up and see if it looks okay. Be sure you locate the center for drawers and align the template on either side of center. I had great success with this product but took my time. Good luck. M.

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.

They are designed to be larger than the door knob so I believe there is a large variance in the size of knobs that work. Unless you have a teeny tiny or gigantic knob in shouldn't be an issue.It house was built in 1974 and they all fit fine on those knobs and the newer knobs in the house.

There is a little insert on the knob, u have to push it in, while pushing the knob. It is hard. I installed 4 of them
