Reversing the 40-198 latch

A home owner from Bridgeport, CT says:

I recently purchased Item #40-198 Storm Door Mortise Latch. The latch is turned in the wrong direction for my door. I need to know if it can be reversed and if so, how do I go about reversing it. Would you please forward me the instructions.

The latch can be reversed, yes. It's actually very simple. You'll see that there's a little metal lever right by the plunger. When you depress that lever, it allows you to push the plunger in and then spin it around.

That really is all there is to it. Please let me know if you had any additional questions and I would be happy to help.
