Default Flip Kwikset left-hand lock knob to right-hand keyhole reversal

No need to pull the cylinders or anything like that. Locksets that
only fit one way are usually clearly marked as "l-h only" or "r-h only".


DING DING DING DING !! We have a winner, folks!
Finally, someone posts the correct answer.


Now I'm REALLY confused.

If we don't need to pull the Kwikset lock cylinder, then why are all the
OTHER posts showing pictures of a cylinder removal tool in order to rotate
the configuration from a left hand to a right hand lock?

Please clarify if you can! Thanks!
