In the old days that tape was handy for opening car doors if you locked yourself out but modern designs render it ineffective.

Cheers,
Keeping in mind what Jacques has mentioned above... I have continued to do measurements the fool way I have previously posted.

Jacques me

The holes middle to middle are 3 and 1/4 inch.

Repeat 3 and 1/4 inch.
