My problem isn't with the deadbolt, it's with the entry lock knob.

Are you saying one can switch a Kwikset entry knob from a left-hand
configuration to a right-hand lock setup WITHOUT removing the lock
cylinder?


Absolutely. Works the same way as I described for a deadbolt.


The catch is that the pins may or may not be at the bottom as opposed to the
top. If they are at the bottom the only way to correct it is to pop out the
cylinder and turn it 180 degrees.
