on product code 82-005, my handle locking mechinism is the opposite of your photo shown for product code 82-005. Will this work on my door handle lock if it is the oppoiste from what you are showing?

Can your closed back keeper part #82-042 work, if so I would like to order. Thank you

Thanks for posting, Michael. You can, indeed, switch the 82-005 handle assembly to the opposite side. All you need to do is make sure you flip the inside thumb-lock around so that it is in the opposite direction.

Hey Michael,

I know it's been about a week or so, but I just made a tutorial video on switching the thumb latch on the 82-005 Sliding Door Handle Assembly. I'm hoping this is helpful to you in some way.
