I spoke with the manufacturer and they told me the depth of this door latch, product # L3980, from the recessed area to the housing area is 1 inch. The depth from top of the latch to the bottom is 1-3/4 inches. This door latch mounts in 3-3/8 inch x 4-5/8 inch hole. I am sorry, we do not have a diagram of the measurements.
