OK guys,
I took some information from the web and put a Depth and Spacing Guide PDF together. Let me know if this is helpful.

Jeez, the least you could do is double check the info ( :D )...... The yale info is wrong, MACS is 6, not 7 :wink: .

Oh and btw, anything like this is helpful :wink: . I have roughly 370 pages of unique space and depth info on hand I'd love to scan up sometime but copyrights keep me from doing so :cry: .

hate to be a bugger but i do believe the schalge info is wrong. someone help me out here. i have a brand new caliper accurate to within .001 i even checked it using feeler gauges and it is in fact accurate. every single pin i have measured for schlage has come up completely different then the lengths on that page. the problem is that i dont know what the real size is supposed to be because i pulled the pins out of an old lock and have nothing to compare them to.

No problem. If you had not pointed that out then I would have overlooked the MACS being wrong on the schlage too :wink: .

So the only edit you guys can see are the MACS for the Yale and the Schlage, right?

I need you all to take a look, because this was put together from information on the web, and I have nothing to refer to, to check the information. Once I have confirmation of all edits, I will change the information. But for now please do not consider this guide a reference material. Please consider it a reference guide in the making, and it is being reviewed for errors by more knowledgeable people.

Thanks,

OK,
Sorry for the double post, but I have been informed that the information on-line and in the PDF I created is not accurate. I am pulling the PDF from my online storage, if anyone can post this information, or PM me with it and permission to create a new PDF with the correct information I will be willing to put it together.
