Door handing
The hand of a door refers to the position of the lock relative to
the side and direction of the door hinge.
There are four possible ‘handings’ based on whether the
hinge is on the right or left side of the door and whether it
swings to the inside or outside (see diagram).
Changing the lock hand
There are two steps to changing the hand of any L-Series
lock:
1. Pull and Rotate Latchbolt. With the lock case
removed from the door, pull the latchbolt
away from the lockcase and rotate 180°.
2. Change Lock Handing Screw. Remove the lock
handing screw from one side of the chassis
and install it on the opposite side. The lock
handing screw should always be on the
interior side of the door for L-Series locks,
and on the exterior side of the door for
LV-Series locks.
