What is the "standard door preparation" that this fits? I've read about measurement problems with other models and was wondering if this is a concern.

I believe this simply refers to the deadbolt holes that are often already drilled in the door. I had no issues removing my old deadbolt mechanism and having the Schlage lock fit into the very same hole.

I took my old deadbolt out and slipped this one right in. The slide bolt was a bit of a snug fit, but not so much that I had to redrill anything. It is bigger than a regular deadbolt (obviously), but still fit with room to spare over the decorative back-panel for my door knob.

This item fit exactly where I removed the deadbolt from, I made no alterations at all to the door.

It fits a standard bolt lock preparation: 2-1/8" hole, 2-3/4 or 2-3/8 setback (adjustable), with or without mortise on the door edge. They recommend at least 5-1/2" clearance from the door knob. Installation is straightforward, instructions are pretty clear.

I'm not sure what that means. This fit where my old deadbolt was, so there wasn't any prep for me, other than removing the old hardware. I love the lock, but did have a locksmith install it. Some of the reviews mentioned that the mechanism wouldn't turn, so you had to wind up using a key. The installer said he saw something that could have caused a problem and adjusted it a little. It's on my front door, but I use it daily and haven't had any problems.

We had a deadbolt above the doorknob. So, basically, we removed the deadbolt and replaced it with this lock. There was just a hole through the door about the size of a silver dollar ( I am sure it is a standard size) that worked perfectly with this lock.

If you are talking about the height, then it will fit. The top of the door is spring loaded so it is adjustable. Once in, release the spring top, it will move into position. Tighten down the spring locks and you should be ready to go.

When you go to tape it, measure first, then find a place on the door to stick the tape closer together, it might make a small gap in the top but when it closes by the magnets it should be ok

I had read about a door problem before buying and was prepared. Best bet is to take it off and reassemble it to line up correctly. I have had no problems but then I didn't assemble it, my contractor did and I love it.

With the doorknob, it prob won't fit. Also, this product sucks haha, you might want to look into a different one

If it is a normal door and I am understanding your question the door may be too big for this product to work properly.

My door is the same width and it works. It depends on the location of the door knob, but I would assume it is in the standard spot.

I would suggest that the door isn't tight - there are 2 rubber bumpers on the top of the door that hold the door away from the frame by at least 3/32" Looking at my unit this fit looks normal and ours works great

I got mine done with no trouble and did not measure. I have always had trouble with things like this but this one gave me no problems at all. Hope that helps you

my door frame is 36 inches and i have been using this for 4 years. it fits and works fine. (this was the only one i could find at the time that fit a door that wide. most are for up to 34 inches.)

The critical question is if your doors are pre-drilled for the handle, and what the "set" is if so. The set is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the know hole. The two standard sets are 2-3/8" and 2-3/4". This latch is not adjustable, and is for a 2-3/8 " set door. So measure the distance, and make sure that matches what the door is. I bought these and found out afterwards that my doors were 2-3/4". Otherwise, they seem decent quality. Just make sure they're the right size.

Generally not recommended - your door width should be door opening plus approx 2.5 inch. the height can be less or more than this dimension. for specifications you can refer to the Blum US website. http://www.blum.com/us/en/01/20/10/

Dear Rick So sorry to tell you this, but whatever you do, it won't work. They keep changing their sizes in this company. Go to the local pet store and buy this where you can measure it, and then return if it doesn't fit. We're going to have to buy a WHOLE NEW DOOR to use the one we got on line. Get my drift? This is not the best way to buy a replacement flap. You'll probably be sorry. Good luck!

They make a frame kit that fits 24' doors, just buy that kit instead of 'cutting-down" a larger frame. Much less hassle, and no chance of error, or mistakes, possibly ruining the frame which IS NOT covered by the manufacturers warranty! Capisce?

Dear sir, I would love to help with the measurement of the belt, but that unit is in our second home and At this time I do not have access to it. however the company that I bought this through on Amazon was most helpfull and perhaps with the model number they may help. One note of caution, if your door is extra high or tall on the opening you will need the longer belt. I hope that this helped!

Yes, mine fit nicely. I added a strip of "door seal foam" (purchased on a roll) from my local hardware store, for a little extra protection around the edges. I also added a velcro strap around the outside for latch security (and it forces me to lay it flat to open, so that I don't absent-mindedly open it wrong).

Robert is right. The hinge takes up 1" of usable space. Make sure you line up the door with the lower door. Mine was 1/4" difference.
