What else will I need to install this ? I am not very handy, so I would be very grateful for a few pointers on how to install this door latch.

All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver or a drill. Pretty straight forward.

All you need is a hand held drill. I recommend the "SKILL" line, you can find it here on amazon (or just borrow from a friend or neighbor : )). The latch comes with its own screws, so once you get a drill, you just line the bolt up wherever you want to put it and screw those bad boys in and you're done : )

I should have included that in my review. An improved latch would be good. I don't think you're missing anything; it is not easy to open. But, I kind of like the solid feel that gives the case.

I'm not sure about rv installation. The latch is magnetic.... It seems too big for an rv bathroom

I did not have an issue installing this. My best guess is you will need to clean off the existing adhesive tape and use new tape.

this was a simple procedure when I replaced my lock assembly.........just common sense..................if unsure about performing this task, simply make didital photos of the disassembly of your lock as you take it apart and use the photos to re-assemble.............

I ended up using a gate I bought from home depot. I just used some screws to install it and was cheap and easy.

It has been a while since I installed this, but as I recall, you have to remove the door knob (just two screws) and then you insert a plastic plate behind the metal knob. There are little plastic teeth that you punch out to match your particular door knob. Then, you screw the knob back on the door and that holds the lever lock on. It isn't hard once you get the hang of it. I found the first one slightly difficult, but it wasn't bad once I got the hang of it.

My husband said he'd omit the pin and replace it with a nut and bolt. We have not had anyone do this to our gate, yet! Good luck!

You will need a 1" spade bit to put in the "latch hole" and you will need a hole saw to put in the handle. Instalation is real easy and it comes with instructions that are easy to follow. Take your time and measure twice, then check your measurements before you drill. Use painters tape over the area to be worked on and mark it out with pencil where to drill. This does have a lock on it and a pull that pops out of the latch, so no need for any other hardware.Just an answer from one who has installed 4 of them. If I had more pocket doors I would have more of this latch. You will need a 1" spade bit to put in the "latch hole" and you will need a hole saw to put in the handle.

Use supplied screws. Relatively easy installation, easy to use once installed. Take care to align the wall and door pieces and it will work like a charm.

That's exactly what I did because I needed the door to open to the left. I also replaced the latch with a magnetic one and a simple knob.

I would say that your door design does not meet the requirements to install this system and any attempts to tape it would end with hanging pieces of insulation panels and a waste of time. Answer: "Not going to work for your particular door" I hope this was helpful... Tom

Sorry, I got rid of the trailer I installed it into. I had a round-handled latch, then got this. I cut the hole to fit. My recollection is that it was about 2" side by 2½" tall. I also had to cut the opening for the latch and "deadbolt" slide, in the face of the door. Sorry I can't be of more help. It was not hard to cut all the holes I needed, using an electric jigsaw. You could to it with a hand coping saw, also.

Most patio door latches will work with this one, but there are some that require a little "finessing". We had to add some spacers for our latch to work, but it was worth the extra effort.

The dead bolt is a seperate hole, the top of the main handle has a hole there too for the usual latch assembly. The lower part of the main handle requires a small hole to secure it to the door. That hole is something like 1/8 size and goes through the door and a cap is installed on the inside of the door to cover the screw. So if you have the usual two holes in a door your fine, you'll just have to drill a very small hole for the lower part of the handle to secure it to the door. Any normal drill bit will work, it's in the directions.

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
