Can you give us the distance between screw hole centers, on both your lock and keeper?
the distance between both screw hole centers is approx 1 3/4"
Thank you for the information. Could you please confirm the distance between the screw hole centers? Judging by the style of the lock, I feel like it should be a bit wider than your 1-3/4". Can you also tell me the distance between the installation hole center and the back of the lock--that is, the side of the lock closest to the keeper?
Hi Paul,
I took the lock off and measured, you are right, it's 2" from hole center to hole center on each part. it is 1/4" from hole center to back of the lock.
thanks, Joyce
Do you think the 1/16th of an inch will fit the 2" holes? also, the locks work, it's just that the screws don't stay in tightly and then the lock becomes loose and doesn't hold. Do I need to replace the whole lock or just the screws?
thanks,
Aha! That makes things a bit more clear. If that is indeed the case, then replacing the lock would not solve your problem.
You have two ways to go about this. You could try replacing the screws by taking them to a local hardware store and getting the next size up. Or, you could move the lock over and drill new holes. However, I should warn you that drilling new holes does come with a risk of damaging your glass. I would contact a local professional to see if they can help you out.
