The door mechanism looks easy enough to just have the rod come straight up through the door but i dont want it to be rough. My plans were to french it into the door so the button sits flush just above the bullet but im unsure if it will defeat the purpose. I have shit doors to trial ideas on

Ill put up a photo of what ive got
