I changed the lockstep on my door going from the garage into the house with one of those cypher combination locks and the knob on that lockstep was the lever and not the round knob. I fell in love with the lever type knobs since it allows you to open the door with your arm or elbow. That comes in handy when your hands are full of tools or packages, or for that matter, a martini for me and a martini for DW.
My TrailManor was all but a month old before I switched out the factory lockset with a standard lever type lockset in brushed metal. I don't remember it being much of a problem with the door thickness. I do remember I had some work to do getting the latch (door catch?) extracted from the door in order to replace it with the type that came with my new lockset. It was really pressed in there.
The whole job was done in about an hour with only two cuss words.
