Re: How Do I Deal With A Nonstandard Backset?

Hey, guys, I didn't mean to start a fight between various camps!  I'm just a
layman (although a long-term reader of this group and sporadic poster when the
Abloy acts up.)

Here's how I'm going to move the hole.  My only hole saw happens to be,
appropriately enough, a 2 1/8.   I'm going to get a 2 1/4 unit, and have
already run a thick board through the jointer to get a piece the thickness of
my door.  I'll use the 2 1/4 saw to cut out a round section that, given the
kerf of the saw, oughta fit fairly snugly in the existing 2 1/8 door hole.
I'll patch the center small hole in the new piece with a dowel, glue the
section in place in the door, and finally cut the correctly-positioned 2 1/8
hole.

Shouldn't be rocket science, although I'm sure I'll forge new frontiers in
Murphy's Law.

I don't want to get a new door slab because there's no assurance the
pre-drilled holes will line up with my existing hardware in the door jamb.

Last question: this gives me the obvious choice of either of the two standard
backsets.  Is there any reason to choose one over the other?
