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

They can't clarify. They (Gary and Doug) are both mistaken.

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!
