Which side do the screws attach to? Interior or exterior of the door, which is best or does it not make a difference?

The screws attach to the inside of the door. Since this is a door exiting to my garage, the screws on the inside offer security when the garage door is open.

Both I think, I just used the screws, it was the easiest for where I was going to mount it.

I already had a mount on the inside of the door that the hook mount slid over perfectly. Would recommend that design rather than over-the-door to prevent scuffing the door.

YES, there is a choice, you can assemble it either way. We assembled ours with the door on the left side.

If I remember correctly, there are hooks / grooves that you have to line up along the sides before clicking the tab at the top. Take the door off and you should see the additional hook/groove/tabs that need to be lined up for the final click. Sorry, it has been a while but I do remember that issue. It was a very simple "ah ha" fix.

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!

The 'normal' exterior door. We used it on 4 doors and it fit perfectly. VERY well made and comfortable to grip.

You attach the button to push beside the door so I don't understand the question. As long as you have a place beside the door that you can put two screws into it will work. I got one of these for me and one for a gift for my grandma. We both love it.

No screw, rather a metal tab that comes through the handle. When pressed with the included key (or very small flathead screwdriver) the handle can be pulled free. The opposite side works the same way. I was worried about security, but the part that releases has nothing to do with the lock. I don't think the tab can be accessed from the exterior once mounted.

Hi Pat, I put mine with the plastic side on the outside. I'm not sure it matters though.

Hi Eileen, We have this set at our cabin and I'm not there right now. My builder installed it. However, it looks neat so the screw must go in the door. Sorry I'm not much help but it looks very nice and I love it. I'll check it out next time I'm there. Carol

I dont think there is a difference. It is a door knob on one end and the unit as pictured above. I can not tell how it would make a difference what hand you are

That's up to you really. I put mine in the bottom corner on the side with the door handle. It's probably easier on the corner as well I'm thinking.

not and keep thumb latch on outside of door. You must buy left or right assembly.

The previous poster is right - the door handle is the same on both sides. It's not a big deal, you'l need to get a differen handle., which is not a big deal

This bar is fixed to the door frame and props against the farthest (and innnermost) moving door. If you are going to slide to the other side, the bar will then be on the "wrong side." In that context it may not work -- assuming my understanding of your description is correct.

It goes either way. Depends on your door. There is an adjustment that you make. It's very easy.
