Where can I find PICTURES or DIAGRAMS of the procedure to

entry lock from the left-hand keyhole position to a
right-handed lock?


This PDF of the type of instructions that come with my
Kwikset entry lock
does not explain how to reverse an upside down keyway.

Oh my, I just realized I have to REMOVE THE LOCK CYLINDER
in order to
switch the Kwikset lock from a left-hand upside-down
keyhole to a
right-hand right-side up keyway!

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?


because Kwikset doesn't need to.
your links should be self explanatory.
once the cylinder is removed,
it can be re-installed any way needed..
