Q: How can the length of the shaft be determined without disassembling the existing shaft or can a replacement with a 6 5/8" shaft be purchased and cut down? Looks like I need a Bilco RPRS7-1B Replacement Zinc Plated -
A: Without removing the 2 - screws from the exterior handle and removing the pull and measuring the spindle length, it would be guesswork - although the RPRS7-1B is the thickest version available and used on insulated roof hatch lids. If your lid is not insulated (noticeably thick), you would not need the RPRS7-1B. Having said this - you can order the RPRS7-1B and indeed cut the length of the spindle is you elected to, or simply not and the amount of projection of the shaft on the interior side will likely not be a concern (simply stated, leave it long).
Q: From centre to centre I have the bolt holes lining up at 5” and 2” with the case being 1-5/8” deep. The shaft is 4-1/2”. Is this the right product?
A: The footprint of the body is indeed 5 inch center to center lengthwise and then 2 inch center to center depth-wise however if you need a 4 and 5/8 length shaft the proper unit is going to be the

Q: i have a 2 inch by 5 inch center to center which shaft and handle do i need.
A: The 5" Center to Center is a much older footprint and no longer available. I suggest you purchase the RPRS7 version you require and simply elongate the mounting holes in the mounting flanges of the lock body. I have suggested this "countless" times prior with no trouble.
