How to determine the Backset of Your Door

Backset Diagram

In the U.S. there are two common backsets for residential door locks, 2-3/8" and 2-3/4". The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8" bore hole.

We will pack your locks with a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" latch depending on which backset you specify.

Dummy sets have no latch and are surface mounted so you can install a dummy set wherever you choose on the door.
