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

Wrong. If you want the keyhole right side up, Kwiksets are
handed. Right or left.

On all of them I've dealt with, you just separate the lockset

into
the three main pieces, install the plunger/latch into the edge

of
the door, stick the outside part (knob or deadbolt) in from

the
exterior side of the door, mate the interior part (knob,

deadbolt,
or turn lever) onto the rod from the front part, then spend a

lot
of time getting the screws started. Tighten everything up, and
you're done.

The only difference between l-h and r-h locksets is which way

the
plunger/latch points, and they're generally made to fit either

way.
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.
