Hi I?d like to order a handle lock set with keyed lock installed from your company, to replace my existing set which does not lock. I need two sets for two identical doors as pictured below.

Can you please help me to learn how to measure to ensure I am ordering the correct sized set. Is there a specific way for me to measure? Thank you very much. Scott

Sure, I feel very confident that our 82-081 handle set will work for your door. This has a 4-15/16" hole spacing, center-to-center, which should match what you have now. It will also be fully compatible with your existing mortise lock.

Hi Tom
One quick follow up. I see it says
"Includes installation fasteners for doors up to 1-3/8" thick"

My door appears to be 1- 1/2" thick.

Is there any other parts or accessories I should buy along with the 82-0281 to ensue a good fit?

Thanks.

In your case, I would advise reusing your original screws. That should allow you to use our handle set.

Hi Tom,
This part of the lever does not seem to fit flush over the black plastic piece in the handle. Can you advise. Thanks. Scott

I would try removing that black plastic piece from the handle to install the thumb lever.

Success

Thanks. Ordered another one today.

I had a difficult time cutting the spindle. I used hack I saw and couldn't make a cut. Wound up snapping it in a couple of places and got lucky.

What TPI blade would you generally use to cut the spindle.

I ordered an extra spindle just in case I mess it up.
