Although mods were required that complicated the replacement of hall closet door knob, this style is unavailable in USA. I contacted Quikset and Schlage to request production of a similar knob, they completely blew me off, they are big companies that could care less. So let's get to the mods. My package contained the Chicago screws required to make this work that others mentioned in their reviews. My door was not much thicker than width of latch plate that came with lock, so the Chicago screws had to be shortened quite a bit (I think I cut 4 'sections' off each screw). I did this by holding screws in vice and using my Dremel tool with a metal cutting disc. zip, zip, done. These screws will go through holes in latch mechanism, and when the 'knob' halves are sandwiching the door, these screws will hold the whole thing together without manufacturing crescent shaped blocks other reviewers have done to put on top of and bottom of doorknob hole. The Dremel tool also came in handy cutting the square axle that runs between both sides of the 'knob'. I put the post between the 'knob' halves and held up to edge of door to mark how much material I would have to cut off (in my case, maybe a quarter inch. First I tried my bench grinder. Was taking forever. Then put it in vice and used my Dremel tool again with metal cut off wheel. Went through like quite quickly, but have a cup of water to dunk in when done, it will be so hot it sizzles getting dunked in water. I then used bench grinder to clean up burrs around cut edges and make it nice, not really required, but I had grinder, so why not. Now, the new latch mechanism wasn't fitting into round latch hole from previous latch, as it has a rectangular profile. Dremel tool to rescue. Mine came with a spiral wood cutting bit. Looks like a bit like a drill bit, but is not. I held latch up to hole and marked where I had to cut away wood blocking insertion. Shaved wood away very quickly with Dremel tool. Once I got latch inserted, I could see it was being blocked from full insertion because mechanism was hitting wood on far inside of existing round knob hole, so again Dremel came to rescue to shave a little wood there to obtain full insertion of latch. I had a set of wood chisels, so I was able to lengthen mortise for latch plate and strike plate to proper length. Bottom line, I would not recommend this product to a north american customer who has a pre-cut door knob hole unless you are comfortable with extras steps outlined above. I also would not want to do this without my very useful Dremel tool. This being known (as it was to me by reading reviews), I gave this product 5 stars, as finish and operation are excellent. Looks and feels like quality. I'm not going to ding it a few stars like some have done just because they didn't educate themselves as to what must be done to make this work. And now we aren't constantly bumping the old doorknob, and in one case smashing a wristwatch crystal. Tools required: Dremel tool with metal cutting disc attachment and spiral wood cutting bit Wood chisel and hammer for mortise adjustments bench vice or vice-grips to hold material when cutting 2 phillips head screwdrivers for Chicago screw, one for each side Helpful: marker to make cut lines on material razor knife to trace latch and lock plates on door for mortise

This door knob, for its intended door size, is pretty amazing. The knobs themselves looked a little used already when I opened the package, which bugged me a little but they were very minor scuffs. There is no outer coating on the metal like some store-brands like Schlage, so a scuff is a scuff. The store ones have a resin or something coating them to protect from scratches. My BIG mistake was not reading the measurements closely in the listing. My door is a standard interior door, 38mm or something thick with a round cutout for the inner door mechanism and standard 2" tall faceplates. This knob is taller for the faceplates, and rectangular (taller too) than the standard round side-door cutout. The knobs themselves actually fit perfectly, minus the center bar (square) being 2/8" too long. This took me hours to dremel down the center bar (cut it), then dremel down an old middle-door component to get the center-bar to fit through, and then dremel down the connecting screws in order to get the knobs to fit snugly against the door sides. In hindsight, chiseling the door middle-hole to be taller and rectangular and chiseling the side-door plates to be taller would have been far easier, but I did still have to dremel the screws down which required going out to buy some special metal cutting bits. All this said, I'm the dumb-dumb that didn't look at measurements and figured a door knob is a door knob, before being starkly corrected by this project. In the end I'm quite pleased with the result and the knob looks and operates beautifully. For anyone purchasing this knob for the correctly measured door (NOT a standard interior door) this is easily a 10 minute job to install and I think you'll be quite pleased. For anyone intending to use this on an interior door like a bedroom, be warned this has some tools and DIY required to retrofit it. See attached pictures for a detailed look at the retrofit job using a separate middle-door mechanism instead of the included rectangular one.

Sides are independent from mechanism, neither side is attached to the activation arm, so things are sliding around back and forth as you try to attach. Will need a second set of hands. Also, short post is too long for a thin door and you will need to trim it. Find it binds while assembled despite my best efforts.
