Super important topic: Door knob lever
So, on the inside knob of most lock sets there is a little knob in the middle that lets you lock it. It can be in either the horizontal or vertical position. For all the lock sets I have, and have ever had (as far as I remember), vertical is unlocked and horizontal is locked.
HOWEVER, I just bought one at Lowes and it is the opposite, and cannot be changed. I went to Home depot and theirs are the same, unless I buy the Schlague for a lot more money.
So the question is: Which position is "locked" on your door knob?
