You get 20 questions to figure out the question to which this is the answer:
5 3/4" O.C. A standard measurement between two "things" everywhere in the U.S. and maybe the world for all I know.

Not a "length" measurement, a "distance between".

12. Nope. But serves a similar function. |

I could give a hint in that vein, but I'll wait a bit. ;-)

16. Actually I Should Have Been Clearer... |
|
I wasn't asking if it WAS (literally) a window or a door... instead, I was asking if the item in question has anything to DO WITH a window or a door. (Perhaps a glass door even?)

25. Nope. This isn't a diameter. |

It's a distance between 2 separate but identical things.

No, they are about a foot apart, aren't they?
I guess "floor joists".

Well, the old toilet seat is still perfectly functional. Miz t. just wanted another color. If you'd like to have the old one... ;-)

50. So how did you come to know this, trof? |
|
Miz t. needed a new terlet seat so we stopped by Lowes yesterday. "How do you know what size?", she asked. "All same size, at least the mounting points." I wisely replied. Got to wondering what that distance was while I was installing new throne seat.

53. Distance between door handle and deadbolt shafts? |

Assuming you have the two. Probably some defined measurement of maximum resistance to force.
