How do we flip a left-hand Kwikset lock so it works on a right-hand door?
I bought a set of Kwikset Security locks which advertise "Fits All Doors" & "Easy Installation". The Kwikset lock package contained two left-hand keyed knobs and two deadbolts. The problem is there is NOTHING on the package that indicates the two keyed knobs are set up for left-handed doors (those with the hinge on the left). My outside doors are right-hand doors (they have the hinge on the right). It's crazy to me that Kwikset doesn't even SAY on the package that all my lock cylinders will be upside down unless I can figure out how to switch the Kwikset lock from being a left-hand knob to a right-hand knob. Do you know how? I googled only to find a very tough to follow description of the lock knob keyhole reversing procedure sans pictures at http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=227800 Is there a PHOTOGRAPH or DIAGRAM of how to reverse a quickset lock that is set up for a left-hand door to have the keyhole right-side up for a right-hand door? The instructions have room for Spanish, English, and French, but no room to tell us how to install the lock such that the keyhole is right-side up. Is the procedure to flip the Kwikset keyhole documented (with pictures)? |
