The reg house lock sets are for thicker doors. Like said above. Go to a mobile home parts dealer. I work P/T @ Home Depot and am constantly pulling out my tape and showing people this. They always say "looks like the same thing" Wrong!!
Not saying you're wrong thunderbolt, but my situation was different as I noted in my post above. I had enough adjustment in the screws to tighten the new Kwikset handle down just fine. Mileage will vary, so maybe the OP's situation will be different but it's worth a look.
My bath door is 1 1/4 and the kwickset wouldn't tighten up on it. The thickness is the issue. Kwickset also sells the mobile home bolt assembly seperate to use in your existing door. Works with a reg lockset. I used those on my Mfg home, a rental that I have. And I am old so those other stores don't have all of us. LOL.
