locks are identical left-right and interchangeable

Julian,

Are you sure about this?

On the lock unit, there is a slight chamfer on one edge of the key hole. On my car, this chamfer is facing the handle pull on one door, but facing away from the handle pull on the other door.

I do have some spare bucket/pull/lock piece; both my locks pieces are the same. The lock piece is attached to the bucket with three small screws. On both my units that are not installed, the chamfer is on the side that has two attaching screws. They would both be a match to my current driver's door, but not the passenger door unit.

Perhaps the lock barrel can be removed and rotated 180 degrees, but this doesn't seem to be an easy swap from what I see on my units.

Can you check your complete units more closely with regards to the orientation of the chamfer and the attaching screws?

Thanks,

Larry
