Thanks for your answer. From what I understand some locks like the Samsung one comes with their own mortice which I guess means they won't work multi point door lock mechanism like the one one this type of doors...

Very interesting question. Did you get the answer you needed?

Thanks Tony, Would it help if I post pictures? The reason I am asking for help is to avoid having to settle for someone saying "no sir, this is how it has to be" if there is actually a way to do it (as you suggested if SE do not want to do the calc then it might be an easy answer for them...
