In some states, employers may require employees to provide proof that they were called for jury duty before they take any time off work. For most employees, the most important issue is whether or not they will be paid for time spent on jury duty.ome employers doggedly resist the idea of allowing employees to take time off for jury duty -- and apply subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) pressure on them to try to get out of serving. Recognizing this problem, most states prohibit employers from firing or disciplining employees called to serve on a jury.
The two important variables when installing a lockset are the height of the knob above the finish floor and the backsetâthe distance from the center of the knob to the near edge of the door. Most knobs are positioned a comfortable 36 or 38 inches above the floor; check the height of other knobs in the house and keep it consistent.
Preparing for Installation. If you're installing a lockset in an existing door, take out the old lockset and measure the backset â the distance from the door edge to the center of the lockset hole. The measurement is usually 2-3/8 inches for interior doors and 2-3/4 inches for exterior doors. Refer to this when you buy your new lockset to make sure the hardware is compatible. (You can skip to Installing the Lockset, below.) Watch This Video: Determine the Backset of Your Door. If you're installing in a new door, you'll have to cut the holes. The lockset instructions will specify the correct backset.
