I learned how to disassemble Kwikkies from the locksmiths who
trained me. I don't know of any web sites to help out.
Where did you buy the locks? Maybe someone there can help?

How do we flip a left-hand Kwikset lock so it works on a
right-hand door?
I bought a set of Kwikset Security locks which advertise "Fits
All Doors" &
"Easy Installation". The Kwikset lock package contained two
left-hand keyed
knobs and two deadbolts.
The problem is there is NOTHING on the package that indicates
the two keyed
knobs are set up for left-handed doors (those with the hinge on
the left).
My outside doors are right-hand doors (they have the hinge on
the right).
It's crazy to me that Kwikset doesn't even SAY on the package
that all my
lock cylinders will be upside down unless I can figure out how
to switch
the Kwikset lock from being a left-hand knob to a right-hand
knob.
Do you know how?
I googled only to find a very tough to follow description of
the lock knob
keyhole reversing procedure sans pictures at
http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=227800
Is there a PHOTOGRAPH or DIAGRAM of how to reverse a quickset
lock that is
set up for a left-hand door to have the keyhole right-side up
for a
right-hand door?
The instructions have room for Spanish, English, and French,
but no room to
tell us how to install the lock such that the keyhole is
right-side up.
Is the procedure to flip the Kwikset keyhole documented (with
pictures)?
