This lock installed easily and works well. it has enough tolerance that a novice carpenter can install it. I like the way it easily latches as my door slides silently on the LE Johnson hardware, which is smooth as silk, highly recommended and well worth the cost. Frankly, my main difficulty was in altering the mortises from what was required for the former lock from Kwikset, which never worked despite several adjustments. Be aware that the 3/4" +/- latching clasp protrudes from the edge of the door. That provides a small handle to grasp with fingers to pull the door, but it will extend into your open doorway if your door edge is flush with the jamb when fully stowed in the pocket..
