How to reverse the lock direction of the door handle?

[barydos]

Hi, 

I recently purchased the following Ikonic privacy set for the powder room: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ikonic-brushed-nickel-isabella-lever-entrance-set_p0199990

The installation was fine. However the lock works by turning the lock counter clockwise (CCW). I was hoping to make this become locked by rotating in the clockwise (CW) direction.

How can I achieve this?

The instructions don't suggest anything. But I'm guessing the tool in the middle (what's it called?) is a clue. 

I rotated the handle to reveal a slot but can't seem to get anything to click. Am I getting close or completely off track?

 

Thanks!

Hi @barydos,

I don't believe I've ever seen an adjustment on a privacy set that allows you to choose the direction the lock needs to be turned. The tool is used to help remove the cover flanges, and I believe the holes you've aligned allow you to release the cover flange.

Did you want the lock to turn in the opposite direction to be similar to others in your home?

Thanks for confirming @MitchellMc. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part!

Yeah I was thinking of turning it in the opposite direction, but honestly it's no big deal that it's not possible. Thanks for the reply
