    Just a thought you could just take the adjuster knob off and figure out a way to mount it and just move it with your hand then you wouldn't need to drill at all.

    Heres a pic

    Hey Inline 6
    The knob is 4 inches to the center as the rule is shown and 1 7/8 inches from the top of the door. Also you have to drill it as shown to get the knob thru the hole. Good Luck Tim
