the great majority of locks where I am will always turn clockwise. the rest turn the other way. sometimes picking the wrong direction is easier and so people use plug spinners to make it work for them. Unlike shrub, I don't care if you fubar your shed lock, if you do it will be a learning experience. but read the site, most likely some thread will tell you what you need to learn, what you need to learn is how to put the correct seach terms in the search box. its those terms that will pick the lock of this site
