Mine has 2.0 , maybe 2 1/4 max. Has anyone installed their own and come across this?
The problem would be that the door knob on the actual door would stick out too far, I think and so the screen door wouldn't close. How can I get around it?
Could cut a routered pocket where the door knob protrudes. (Assuming you're talking about a wooden screen door.) If you're putting in an aluminum one, you'll probably need to build up your door jamb outward and mould around it.
