Can this lock be reversed for doors opening left to right or right to left?

Yeah, it's a universal lock. It can be used for either right hand or left hand doors.

Since there is a lock only on one side (like to lock the bathroom door) when you want to reverse it, the handle will be up instead of down. I think you have to get the right or left one.

You can mount it upside down or right side up to get the door to swing in any direction you want. It doesn't appear to matter. There are no numbers or text on the door. Just two key locks and the quick entry lock.

Since the tower door opens from right to left, that might be inconvenient if that section was moved to the right side, although hinges could be reversed, but moving the whole section itself might be a little tricky. The instructions are very complicated even if followed to the letter. Depending on the mechanical skill level of the assembler, it might be possible to switch the sections.

No, this opens both ways as well as has the ability to lock on either side. Make sure the tenant has both sides unlocked as you can adjust the red and green tabs to block access one way and/or the other.

I believe that you can. The latch is designed to go on both left and right opening doors. However, in your case the latch and hasp will need to be reversed from the usual install. This might work it might not. I can't tell without seeing your setup. My advice is you get it and try and see if it can be installed. If not then return it.

I am not sure, to be very honest but I believe that it can. We had it inserted into the wall so if I wanted to open left to right or the other way around all we had to do was flip it. I hope my response is of some help.

It is reversible. The wave on the handle might have to be upside down to have screws on the inside when you have a privacy lock.Otherwise you just turn the latch the other direction.

No, you have to get the right one for your door according to the little chart on the left side, either left-hand or right-hand. You cannot switch them.

I guess yOu could but you would have to carve out a hole for the lock to go into on the other side. Hubby said you could hang it upside down to make the door open from the other side. But don't really think that would look very good either.

I have three styles of the Baldwin lever (passage, privacy, and keyed) and they can all be used right or left handed. The only lever you want to buy specifically right or left handed is the dummy lever since there is no turning mechanism on it. I did 35 doors in Baldwin and they were relatively simple to install and look great.

I've just spent two days with Kwikset "tech support" and they are clueless on how to reverse the lock operation for yours and my situation. I'm positive it can be done but they couldn't tell me how. Ended up buying the Schlage lockset Schlage FE595 CAM 619 ACC Camelot Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Accent Levers, Satin Nickel Best decision ever!

Hi. I looked through the manual, and there's nothing in there about reversing the door. So I'd say "no".

Its setup to open on the left but I'm sure you can configure it to open from the right but it will take some handy carpentry work.

Pretty sure the box says it's Universal for the handle to face either direction. I love this door lock!

Facing the unit, it is right hinged but the option to reverse the door is available

It goes either way. The handles inside and outside are the same so you can switch them to make it work on left or right.
