      Answer This Question

      A:  The lock installs on the inside if the door opens inward, as 2 of my exterior doors do. For our door into the garage, which opens outward, I install the lock from inside the garage. Once installed, you can't open the door whether the key is left in place or removed.

                  A:  It's 4-1/2". The flat plate with slot is thin metal you can bend easily. This lock is not very secure

                  by|May 5, 2023

                    A:  The total length of the metal piece that goes into the locking part (the one with the jagged bumps) is 4 and 5/8 inches. The portion of it next to the key that extends beyond the locking mechanism was 1.5 inches when in installed.

                    by|May 5, 2023

                      A:  Four and a half inches long.

                          A:  No, but it works best on sliding glass panels such as a display case in a public area. I bought it to lock drawers while traveling and have found it rarely works on dresser drawers. I intend to try bending the shaft to see if I can make it more universal.

                                A:  It depends on what you use this lock for. I used it to temporarily secure hollow metal doors, for my application I did have to use 1 screw and modify (bend) the tab to fit the hollow metal door frame. It worked perfect for me. If used for the intended application you would not need a screw.
