A shorter lever is an ideal choice for doors that have latches that can be opened by a thumb turn located on the inside.

This includes the thumb turn, if there is one. It is best to do this with the lock in place, but in the event that this is not possible, you may remove it to take measurements. It is crucial to avoid having a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.
