First thing I'd try is installing the new set and see if the door will close. If not, then the new set should have a striker plate in the mess and you'll need to install that piece.
Once the larger plate is installed, use something to mark the inside of the opening and then start opening the space up. Keep trying the door every so often so you don't make it larger than necessary. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Doucet To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 8:09 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] door nob question Hi Dan, I already have a door knob with a key lock and it does have the extra part on the slide.
