   I built a garden gate out of double 2x4.  So I ended up with a 3" thickness.  Never did find a door knob that would fit this thickness.  I finally countersunk one side of the handle into the door.  Hope someone else will have a better idea.

   Have you tried a locksmith and see what they suggest.

   I would look for one that uses a square shaft. Then if you can get a longer shaft, make one.

   Then either use very long screws for the handle brackets or possilbe screw then in the door.

   Look at it as 3 separate parts. The plunger with a shaft and then two knobs.

   That's what I was thinking, a mortise set with square shaft and replace the shaft.

   Excellence is its own reward!

   I believe Sun Valley Bronze (http://www.svbronze.com) has ones that will fit -- and they're gorgeous too.  But if you have to ask how much, you might not be able to afford them.
