Lock Question - Vertical or Horizontal
tradtionally, aren't the locks on a door handle locked when in the vertical position and unlocked in the horizontal? i was exaplining to my sister that our locks are backwards (unlocked - horizontal, locked - vertical) and she said that is normal.
who is the crazy one?

Hmmm my front door and bathroom are one and one. But typically, I *think* that you're right.

Yes, that's how I check each night to see if my front door is locked. If its horizontal, its locked. Vertical means its unlocked. I guess its the lock or how its installed?

I think that it's definitely the way its installed. I have seen both but the ones in my current home if locked, are in the vertical pos.

My new lock on the front door is backward too, it is so annoying.
Locked = horizontal

Re: Lock Question - Vertical or Horizontal
Horizontal: unlocked
Vertical: locked
I'm not sure if that's backwards or not
