Figure D and E FAQS

What size door does this fit?

It will fit a standard exterior door which can have a width of 30″ to 36″ and 80″ high. Their are two standard setbacks for the latch bolt and this one fits either 2 3/8″ Or 2 3/4″ Backset applications. Most exterior doors are 1-3/4″ thick and this one works for that or the door could be thinner also and it would work.

Should there be one or two door locks in the $ 30 set?

Yes for that price. There should be two piece door set. Because my self it really helped out when they can use the same key for both and it’s good because you could change out the key for a new key without going to a key shop for new ones.

Do the latches come with the round collars or just rectangle plate for the door strike?

It only came with the plate

How many doors is this kit for?

One set (four pieces) per one door. Bottom lock and top lock inside the door and bottom lock and top lock outside the door.

Does this come with the tool to rekey? Or must you buy that tool separate?

It conned with a tool to rekey…. it’s tall simple actually.

Juno is grade 2 and Tylo is grade 3 and feels cheaper to me.
