Scott, that changes things a bit.=20
Check out 4 or 5 videos on line to see how to do it. Don=E2=80=99t rely on a=
ny that are even slightly different from your door & go by videos where ther=
e are multiple videos that show the exact same thing.=20
My door used 5/8=E2=80=9D bars but the key is to use bars that ate correct f=
or your door.=20
Where are you located?
Peace,

Huh. I probably should mention that I too would prefer to pay someone for t=
his. =20
Apparently where I live is too rural and no one is willing to come out here a=
nd I'm tired of begging to pay someone to do it. It's also been two weeks a=
nd I'm going to go ahead and get this done.=20
With that being said, any help?
