Most times the operating panel is on the inside track (newer Anderson

Define newer- the ones on this place are backwards like that, too, and
at least 20 years old. Means you have to open the screen (which is on
the inside) to close the door, not a minor consideration in bug season.
plus the track gets full of leaf debris easier, with no screen door
protecting it. Nor can you lock the door with a broomstick. It also
confused my heating contractor- he put the new floor register in front
of the wrong panel.

Have look. Can you shift the panels from front to back? Doing so, will
the operator panel travel another direction?

I've accidentally placed the wrong panel door on the wrong part of the
track. That was obvious,....

Nope, that is the way they are designed. They clearly can only fit
together the way they are. Not sure of brand- only logo I can find is a
lower-case P over a lower-case D, on the latch controls. Of all the
upgrades this place needs, they are pretty low on the list. They work,
latch okay, and don't leak TOO bad yet. In all odds, they will be next
owner's problem to solve. I really do need to get off my ass and clean
and lube them, though.
