Definitely an idea I'll keep in mind, ... thank you!
may sound goofy: but hear me out. When I wanted to put a very thick door on a basement in a bad neighborhood they called it a church door. The reason being, that the depth was greater than average. Not that it was fancy, but like yours, rather thick. So I'm wondering if you know of such a church, and would be able to ask the maintenance guy where they might get their door knobs, and call the place and ask for the catalog of X measurement thick door hardware. ? ? ? goofy grin.
