What is the rule of thumb when selecting a lock size to fit to a new external door?
The door timber thickness is 44mm and 93mm deep. I purchased a 78mm deep lock based on what I saw on the old door but now feel that there wouldn't seem much material left after cutting the mortice out.
Would it be wiser to exchange it for a 65mm lock?
Any comments please?
