putting new door knobs on entry doors

Hello. New to the forum, but have been lurking for a while! We have a double wide about 10 years old with the standard metal "trailer doors" - the ones that look kind of thin to me. I have replaced the knobs on the interior doors & would like to do the same to the front & back doors. Do the standard type knob/locksets fit these doors? With the other things I have run into, it wouldn't surprise me to hear that I have to special order them.

Does anyone have an experience they'd like to share?

Thanks,

Tammy

I think it depends on the thickness of the door whether a standard lock will fit. I would take one off and take it to a harware store and try to match it up.
