Hi,

Hello @DYIuser1357 

One possible reason that the other door handle does not wish to turn is because its out of alignment or the privacy locking feature is in the engaged position. I propose doing a bit of a test with the door set. Assemble the door set together without installing it on the door. Make sure that the latch is installed as well so that you can manually turn the door handles. One way to find out if the locking mechanism is engaged is to turn the handle while the latch is installed. The door handle should turn, and the latch should sink in technically opening the door. If it does not turn the lock is engaged and I suggest turning the locking nib on the axle to the open position.

Attach the other handle to the assembly and turn to test. Both handles are suppose to turn and the latch to sink. Once this operation is confirmed you can then install the new lock into the door.

Hi I have exact same issue. I noticed if you make entry side of the door lever on your side for example you are inside your bedroom so entry lever on same side. Then latch gets engaged. I am working on how to make other way. If you found out please let me know. Thank you.

Hello @Coolman 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.

Are you asking if the lock can be installed on the other side of the door? It can be done; the handle just needs to be turned upside down. The latch and handle work in both direction and you just need to test this. My best advice is to remove the latch from the door and test the configuration on a table. Assemble the door lever on your table in the position that you want to install it. Hold the latch so that it does not lift when turning the lever handle. Once you have confirmed that both levers work in the proper direction you can then install the door lever back onto the door.
