Measure the rails in a wood door sometime. A year or
two ago I made four 1 1/2" thick wood doors; the lock
rails are either 5" or 5.5", don't recall at the
moment; bottom rail is 8" wide.

Check them in 20 years :-).

Can't, won't be around then. However, I made about a dozen passage doors -
solid butternut - about 14 years ago with approximately the same dimensions
and they are just fine.

oh, nice , what color did you paint them?
