Professional insight

Hardware installers order Taymor by series, function and finish. They confirm the door prep first.

  • Measure backset: 2 3/8 or 2 3/4 inches.
  • Order every lever in a house from one finish batch.
  • Check door thickness against the lock set range.
  • Bathroom doors need privacy function, closets need passage.
