Glad it was helpful!

you did good ....but most US patio sliding door lock doesn't look like that ..what kind of patio door you have ?

[@james.a]

Yeah, it's a Fleetwood sliding door. That's why I had to use this particular smart lock and still needed to 3D print an extension. I couldn't find any other solution for my particular door so I figured I'd share it for anyone else needing the same. Also the 3D print model I shared can be remixed to work with all kinds of other doors. I've already seen several versions now on Printables after uploading mine.

Aweome! Did you use the adhesive to mount the main lock?

[@james.a]

I did use the adhesive because I didn't want to drill holes in the metal door frame. I was a little worried at first that it might come off but it's been holding up well so far.

I wish I could 3D print something where I could use the switchbot to turn on my NRP 200 computer. I don't have experience with 3D printing and I unfortunately cannot use the switchbot to turn on my PC which has the nr200 case

You may just need to add something to the arm that sticks out a bit so it can press further into the case where the power button is. The hard part is how do you attach something that will both work and withstand the pressure of being pressed without breaking off.
