Personal preference but if they match the privacy sets, I would make them appear the same as those, offset same as the privacy. You could put one screw in closest to the edge of the door and see how you like it centered because it will cover the temp hole either way if it has a standard size back plate.

Thank you, sierraeast. Does anyone out there have pictures of their dummy sets either centered or not centered? I can't get to the house to check out the 2 different placements and the carpenter wants to know by 7 am tomorrow.

Here are mine on a double door closet. Second photo shows entire door style. Also, in second photo you can see the entrance door to the bedroom and where the door knob will be.

Thank you, Brutuses and Dixiedoodle. I thought I had exhausted all the possibilities of details, Dixiedoodle, and then the construction supervisor came up with this one. Honestly, this is something I had ever noticed on any door before in my life. I'm so burnt out on making decisions when I don't know anything about the subject in question. This was just one more that I couldn't even begin to imagine the pros and cons that should be considered. Since I tend to like symmetry my off hand answer would have been centered. The one sure thing I've learned in this new build is never to give an off hand answer on something I know nothing about. Thanks again for the insight.

Standard backsets are either 2 3/8" or 2 3/4" depending on how you have your doors prepped. Most bullets/bolts are adjustable anymore though.

I'd vote for whatever the rest of the house is.
