Are the lever handles able to be switched sides on the passage/privacy? so as not to install handle upside down.

You will not be able to switch the handle. Therefore, make sure you order it correctly. I have to return some. Additionally, you will find some covers come loose if being used in high traffic areas. I used GE Silicone Caulk Clear to keep it in place. It is the price you paid for.

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.
1888508
You need to determine whether your door is left or right hand, regular or reverse entry. There are lots of websites with instructions on doing this. If you don't the proper left or right hand lever it will be upside down when you install it.

not and keep thumb latch on outside of door. You must buy left or right assembly.

There is definately a RIGHT or LEFT to these units. They will however work in an upside down fashion, although the curve on the handle tip will point upward

Cant switch em. Make sure you get some kind of adhesive to hold the trim plates on cause they don't stay in place. Personally, if I could do it all over..... I would not buy these handles.

I had purchased to use on bi-fold doors but the contractor bought the wrong door and ended up having to buy the regular closet style set. I had not planned on having something on the other side since they were just being used to pull a door open instead of turning~ I agree with the other response of using the left handle on the opposite side as well... Hope this helps!

I took a closer look at this and I don't see how this can be done. The way the piece is molded on the side it does not look like the handle can be changed. to the other side.

Yes you can put a padlock on which prevents the handle from being turned. Took me about an hour to install, and I'm not all that handy.

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'm sure the handle can be put on the other side. That would work if you can make the adjustment of having it on the left side.

You don't have to mount it upside down. Probably don't want to, see the configuration of the handle, so that it is easy to grasp when you are going up the stairs. It will pivot to the side to fit against the door if mounted the correct way. The model that I purchased a couple of years ago would pivot either way, with detents left, right and forward for storage and use respectively.

Yes- the handles are reversible. There's a little push pin tool in the package and it's really easy to switch the handles.

Seems as I installed these handles it would not matter if the handle was on the right or left. You would have to swap both sides. Good luck. They were very easy to install.

I dont' fully understand your query. Since you can switch the handle, it would seem to me to work fine on any hinge orientation. Ours came with the handle set 180 degrees away from where we wished it to be. Our door has the hinges on the right looking from inside the house. So I"d say yes to your query.

I do not think you would be able to swap the side of the hinges on this without risking damage to the safe's integrity. You could install it upside down but, two things: 1- The knob to twist and open the safe is about 1/3 of the way from the top of the safe. you would need to hang the safe kind of high to get the knob at a reasonable level, which poses the potential hazard of having the gun fall out onto your head. 2- there is a strap that you can use to hold the gun in place that will can only be fed through the back of the safe via pre-cut slits near the top of the safe. If you turn the safe upside down, I do not believe this strap would be very effective. Hope this helps!

You should be able to unscrew the backplate and twist it into position. However if your door handle hole and your door latch hole aren't positioned properly, then when the mechanism aligns with the holes, they won't allow for the lever to be leveled. I know it sounds a little confusing, but hope it helps.

Yes. The step 1 of the instructions says: "Decide at this point if you want handle/towel bar on the right or the left side of the cabinet as side panels are interchangeables."

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 don't see any reason it couldn't be installed upside down. Clamp would then stick up above top of hutch tho.

The door handle is adjustable by a hidden screw. that way you can turn it left or right. It comes vertical for space optimization on the packaging.

Yes. You could switch them around if you want - they're closed systems and the levers have bilateral symmetry.
