I thought I had one that couldn't be flipped, and I was about to flip, until you said you could flip over the entire catch assembly, now my housemates door can finally be closed properly. Success! Appreciated.

Excellent! I'm about to replace my nephew's bedroom door knob assembly today. His spring broke inside the latch and it was no use anymore, so I'm replacing the whole thing. This is the same model of door latch he needs as well. Thanks alot, because the latch I ordered is reversed, and I'll have to turn it around. This just helped big time!

Life saver. Thank you for your video instructions.!!! Much appreciated.

Thanks mate. Good vid

On some of them the latch can be pushed out a bit through a small opening in the case as to allow reversal.

Some you push the latch back and then see a screw holding the brass latch in place, undo, reverse and do up. So much easier, but lots are not.

This should be the top comment. Indeed, many do not need removing the cover... just push a screwdriver into a hole and rotate the latch.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was really helpful!

Great info that you don’t have to return it to B&Q if it appears to be the wrong way. Do one on the door handles please.

Dead easy once I saw your example.Thanks 👍

Absolute legend, I failed on holding the latch in ahaha

This is helpful 😂

Much appreciated. I have a Swisco 40-214 (insert 40-213), which is obviously a different model (that, as it turns out, doesn't even require the faceplate to be removed, duh). Nonetheless, this helped considerably

never heard of that brand, is it being used in UK??

Do not need to open case !!!.. just put some screw driver into small hole and push forward and reverse. Job done !!

Oh that's how you do it, I went up the local shop "B&Q" and all of these mortice locks was the wrong way round, to me you've just shown how to turn a external opening door to a internal opening door.. is that right? and my kitchen door opens internally from the left, so this what you have to do?

No idea what you mean "lock level" ?

On my lock it says not to do this because the springs inside can cause injury. Instead it says use the opening near the latch - just push a screwdriver into the opening and use it to push the latch out. Then you can just spin it around without opening the plate at all.

Brilliant 🤩

Really useful to see inside it. Do you have any tips for one where the latch itself is not fully retracting? Mine is stuck and I can't open the door

There is no need to open this lock casing to reverse the catch. Just pull on the catch using a set of pliers and twist. It doesn't even have to come out of the door...

@LockMonster

Most don't just pull and twist, one in a 1,000, some have a screw on the catch also, you just unscrew turn and screw in. This video is for these most popular type.

Thanks for the video. What stops the square spindle hole tipping a little when the latch is pushed in? The cam part seems quite loose, by design. All my door locks are fine, the handles doesn't tip down when the latch is pushed in. But I've now bought 2 Yale locks and the handles do tip about 25 degrees. Yale says they're faulty, but in the mechanism in your video, I can't see what's holding the square hole steady and horizontal when the latch is pushed in.
