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!
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?
@@grahaml8838 If you just want to open it, cut a strip of plastic off an empty coke/water bottle, slide the strip in the gap and sometimes it pushes the latch in
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
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.
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.
@@sabbatini2372 Sometimes there is a little notch in the plates of the case of some locks and you have to turn the brass part with square hole a little just above that it above just before you close the lid back up, hard to explain. I doubt the lock is faulty?
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...
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.

Hi what's the screw driver?

Hi, what was the screw driver used?
Life saver. Thank you for your video instructions.!!!
Much appreciated.
thanks
Hi @@LockMonstercan you tell me what screwdriver you used?
@@RileEren Any, as long as it has PZ2 tip, this one has them all
This was helpful, quick and straight to the point. Thank you.
thanks
Great video, took me seconds to do it once I saw you. Much appreciated
Thanks for posting this - very helpful
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.
This is exactly what worked for mine as it doesnt have screw that I can unscrew. Thanks for this. You saved me of big headache🎉
@@LockMonsterHi, what screwdriver did you use?
Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was really helpful!

Yes, that works on most locks, not every one, but most. Thanks
Looks a better lock internally thsn the Yale
Dead easy once I saw your example.Thanks 👍
great, thanks
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
I expect the cam the square handle bar passes through is worn out inside, you have to replace whole lock. thanks
@@LockMonster Thanks. I'll see if I can pad it enough to get the door open. I really appreciate your reply 🙂

@@LockMonster Thanks! Do you have any affiliate links that I could buy the lock through to give you a kick back?

never heard of that brand, is it being used in UK??
Brilliant. Solved my problem. Thank you.
Very helpful - thanks for posting! 👍
thanks
Thanks mate. Good vid
Absolute legend, I failed on holding the latch in ahaha
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.
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.
some are like that, not many, most are like this one.

I think I've just worked out it might be a problem with the springs in the handles. I'll check.

@@LockMonster Thank you. I'll check. I'm not there at the moment, where the door is, but will see early next week.
@@sabbatini2372 Hi, what screwdriver did you use?
Do not need to open case !!!.. just put some screw driver into small hole and push forward and reverse. Job done !!
Only on very few, most need to be taken apart.
Thanks for this 👍
Thank u worked like a treat
Great stuff!
Thank you, this really helped!
I was waiting for you to turn the lock level round, that's what I have so no help
No idea what you mean "lock level" ?
good man! worked perfectly :-)
Glad it helped.
thank you very much it worked 100%
Thank you. Helpful
Thanks, good video and very helpful
This is helpful 😂

I cant my door lock
Or just put the lock in upside down
So the key would be upside down then and in UK nearly every sashlocks has the latch above the deadlock
