Does the 82-003 work for the right or the left?

Home Owner from Chicago
i bought the sliding door handle 82-003 to replace the one that broke on my sliding door that opens to the left. the handle i received seems as though it would work on my sliding door which opens to the right, but not on the door that opens to the left. i didn't see any R/L distinction when ordering the handle. am i missing something? the handle i bought is essentially upside down if i try to install it on the door that opens to the left. please advise. thank you.

Hello! The 82-003 is designed to work on left and right hand facing doors interchangeably. Note that the thumb latch is only held on by a screw. You would just unscrew it, flip it over, and put it back on.
