Ha! Good insight, and a mental image of the issue.

I tend to work (too) fast when doing home projects and such, and could easily see ME doing a 'measure once- cut immediately' thing....hanging a picture in the wall containing the pocket with a 2"long screw...

BTW the fix -rather than a new door install- may be easier if the door is simply repaired while affixed - if it's just scratches, fill, sand, paint.
