All the flush mounted latches we offer are pretty similar, with the differences being size of the hole they install in, the way the metal of the latch is finished, and whether they lock or not.

To determine which latch you need, the best place to start would be to remove the latch and measure the hole it's mounted in. The 'Junior' latches mount in a 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 inch hole. The full sized latch uses a hole 3-3/8 x 4-5/8.

I'm not entirely sure what the 'inside mounting' dimensions you mentioned refer to. If you're speaking of the portion of the latch that would sit in the hole and not the flange, I believe you're speaking of the full-sized latch, part # L3980.

While we do not have the ability to pull part numbers from OEM build sheets, from images online it appears similar to #PLR5115. The measurement on this option is 5-1/2" by 4-1/4" requires a cutout of approximately 4-5/8"…
