Thanks for all the replies, guys. I think you've convinced my wife, and our updates will be simpler without the keyed lock on the levers. We're changing to levers partly for style, but also because my wife is having more trouble with tendons in her wrists. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

So thumbs are not needed. I’ll tell my wife, thanks!  _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

At the risk of sounding like an old grump, see below. "We live in a safe neighborhood;" No such thing! Overall lower crime rate, yeah, safe, noooooooooo! | |||

You’re right. If you are an outdoor cat you will be eaten by coyotes. There are rattlesnakes. And there are break-ins rarely but no home invasions or the like...yet. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

Theoretically. Of course the theoretical flip side being, your door jamb now has two holes drilled in it, making it weaker and easier to break. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
