So much for the "Easy Installation" and "Fits All Doors" on the package!
Why doesn't Kwikset just LABEL their package for left-hand doors only?


The knob entry lock looks much like the photograph here

I'm shocked that I have to order this Kwikset cylinder removal tool just to
get the lock to fit a right hand door.

Assuming left hand and right hand doors are each half the doors in the
world, it seems inconceivable to me that we'd need a hundred dollar tool
for half the houses of the world!

I must be missing something simple.

Do YOU know where SIMPLE instructions might be for switching a Kwikset
entry lock keyway from upside down to right side up?
