Can this lock be used for doors that open in either direction?

Yes- can be on doors that open on the left or right. Can be bolted on either side.

Pretty sure the box says it's Universal for the handle to face either direction. I love this door lock!

In a sense, yes. All you have to do is rotate the unit 180-degrees. Since it is symmetrical, that effectively moves the door opening to the other side. Obviously, you do this as part of the initial installation prior to installing the shelves.

Yes you can. I use mine to open door right to left by using a counter weight on the door. You might need to do the same. I use a small pulley to redirect the string where I want it. It is on a timer which is a life saver.

Being that this lock is made for doors with a slide-bar on both sides that lock into slots in the track I don't see how this would work. I just replaced my old door with a new one and now have the same side slide you have and it doesn't look like this lock is compatible.

Yes the direction the door opens can be changed. Door is designed to move the hinges and handle to the opposite side.

Yes. You can flip the hinges to either side. Love this door. I install it in a lot of customers homes

No sure, but think it can be installed either way. Our door swings in to the left. Hope this helps.

Yes both sides lock. You can unlock it and open it from either side but if you unlock it from one side only that side opens. For instance if you unlock it from the drivers side and don't open it you can't open it from the passenger side unless that lock is unlocked also. Hope this helps.

YES, as this door is generally used with a french door, one side can open while the other side stays fastened to the top and bottom sill of the door.

You are correct. But they function well in either case and I don't find this objectionable, particularly when the doors are not within sight of each other. A round knob or a lever handle that was straight and at a 90 degree angle to the door edge would be the only way to avoid this. Many passage sets for interior doors and locksets for exterior doors have lever handles that curve and point up or point down depending on whether they are installed on a right-hand door or a left-hand door.

The makers finally got smart and produced non-handed locks, everone can use them and stock is cut in half. It SHOULD work on any door by reversing the handle, to be sure check the install instructions beforeyou buy. VERY good brand of lock.

The description on the page says it is reversible so it will work with doors that open either direction, so I'm gonna agree with Jerry and say yes :D

No, this opens both ways as well as has the ability to lock on either side. Make sure the tenant has both sides unlocked as you can adjust the red and green tabs to block access one way and/or the other.

Yeah, it's a universal lock. It can be used for either right hand or left hand doors.

The door can be mounted on either side and the door itself just flips over to accommodate the hinges on the opposite opening. I recall that the instructions show this.

Yes. Mine is pointed downward when locked. Goes slightly horizontal when unlocked. Make sure you check your screw length and cut (if needed) to appropriate length. It WILL go through facing of deadbolt side if too long. This lock was a lifesaver for me considering the garage door is over 20 years old. Hope that was helpful.
