Will not fit true 5/16 spindle

This is a really solid piece but it will not fit a 5/16 spindle at all. I bought one of these to try on my vintage doorknobs but couldn't get the spindle to go through. The latch is a bit smaller than 5/16 so my spindle won't fit through it and unfortunately there is nothing to enlarge the hole. My guess is that back in the 30's when spindles were made, true 5/16 spindles were just like 2x4s were true 2x4s, which isn't the case today. Very disappointed that it didn't work, he went back to the drawing board.

Pros

Great product

Cons

Will not fit everything
