Thanks for the video! Just what I needed. There's also one more thing I discovered. I was doing this with a keyed entry set, and the pin will not release the outside handle unless you insert and turn the key. After I discovered that, it made perfect sense. (In fact, I was a little embarrassed that I kept trying to release the handle without the key!) I inserted the key, gave it a turn, and the pin release worked perfectly. I apologize if you mentioned this in the video and I missed it.
Great tip! I don't think I mentioned it since this model did not have a key. For the entry locks- that makes sense and if I install one of those I'll make sure I mention that.
It is easy to reverse the handles - don't skip the step mentioned by Spiritandtruth below if reversing a keyed lock. You must inset the key and turn it for the release pin to work. I had to inset and turn the key again to fully seat the lock into the other handle.
@@SawHorseDesignBuild right on!!! thank you for following up - tried that and it solved the issue! really appreciate the response and video. best wishes.
@@Bubba_Fett_ No problem. I was stumped trying to find LF and RH locks, and once I realized the website was out of date- I thought I should create PSA to help others.
Thanks for the video. I have a similar problem, but the pin that holds the handle in place, will also hold the other handle….on the same side. In other words, in order to unlock (requiring a clockwise movement) the handle has to rotate also clockwise, not solving the problem. The lock ( if reversible), requires disassembly, rotating it, in order for the handle to rotate counterclockwise. In other words, there are right hand locks, left hand locks, and the reversible types that can be rotated in order for your solution to work. Again, thanks for the video. Peace
I think they are just trying to reduce SKUs and inventory. They need to do a better job explaining this so we don't go chasing left and right-hand knobs.

This was brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this
No problem. Glad we could help
Perfect. What did people do before UA-cam?
Thanks, I was told this was imposible, then I showed them your vid
I hear you- I am told things are impossible all of the time even after I create a video.
Thank you so much, exactly the info I was looking for. Liked and subscribed!
THANK YOU GUY GREAT TIP

Thanks for sharing
Thank you brother
No problem
not really reversible-if your handle points to left, you can’t just throw the other handle on to make it point right - it will not work like that.
You can remove both sides and flip them around. If you need the curve to face a different direction, you can also swap sides.

Why do they make this so HARD
I think they are just trying to reduce SKUs and inventory. They need to do a better job explaining this so we don't go chasing left and right-hand knobs.
