Can you use/install the door handle on just one side of a door? Example: drill 3/4 way through and shorten the square axle bar?

Perhaps, but I think the square bar axle might wobble if supported on one end only.

The square axle bar just slides in so you would need to make sure something kept the axle from sliding out the side with no handle.

The previous poster is right - the door handle is the same on both sides. It's not a big deal, you'l need to get a differen handle., which is not a big deal

I am not aware of any option on handles. What is shown in the attached picture is the outside keypad handle and the inside knob for locking the door from inside. Both are required and part of the purchase.

You can remove the handles and the side brackets, which will remove the door as well. The handle secures the door. Are you wanting to remove more than that?

when i ordered mine it was just for all other doors except the drivers. Hard to find the driver side handle on here. had to buy from dealer directly in the end

I mounted the handles, on the bottom of the doors, as per the instructions. I did measure the distance, from the top of the door to the hinge and from the bottom of the door to the hinge, and they are the same. If you wanted to flip the doors, and put the righthand door on the lefthand side, I see no reason why you couldn't. My cabinet fit together nicely, with no issues. Hope this helps.

My answer is that it is a left-opening handle. However the more important answer is this particular model allows you to make it either a right or left handle depending on which side of the door you are going to install it. It is quite simple and is explained in the owner's pamphlet included with the product. There is a pin-hole in the handle on the side of the lever. Use a small paper-clip and insert into the hole. This releases the locking mechanism that holds the lever handle to the plate. Then the lever handle can be pulled straight out. Then you can re-assemble the handle to the orientation you want, right or left. Good luck! Paul My answer is that it is a left-opening handle.

Sure in any door open to right or left. Just set the side at the installation moment.

I think it could be switched to the other side. You will have to fill the pre drilled holes because it comes pre drill for you to easily install the hinge and door knob. You will need some woodworking skills to do this. It could be done in my opinion. You will need to drill new holes on the other side because this is pressed wood, and it will strip out if you just start trying to screw into it. If you know anything about working with pressed board then you already know that. Just not sure what your skill level is.

No. You pull the door open by the side. Take a look at the user pics, the "handle" is on the right side.

Sorry, Ive been away. Yes, the shaft is keyed for either right or left side handle installation.

Well not following the short side of the L but the two short pieces of the lock side prevent people from using a credit card to work the door handle lock open. Also from breaking the door area where you drilled for the lock. On the other side of the door the two small pieces cover the hinge plate making it stronger on that side. I don't think it give much protection over removing the screws one at a time and using the 3 1/2 inch screws. I would replace the door with a metal one if you have a tired old wood door then add the kit.

Yes, you can. You can choose to only install 1/3 length because I did the same.

You have to cut a little (approx. 4") off on one side for it to fit... But it does fit if you do this modification

If you ask me, this lock isn't the greatest in quality. I had to take it off after one day. But to answer your question, no. You can get in from the other side. You just have to push the handle down harder than normal and with that pressure, the lock will disable and the the door will open.

How about a big enough lock to go around both sides of the handle? I don't have the box ....just wondering?

Yes. A tool is included to remove the handle and pop it on in the other direction.
