    I guess you don’t have a whole lot of experience with the delightful variety of door equipment available the world over. Not all handles of this style can go up as well as down.

      Well if that’s so, that’s unfortunate. I’ve worked on a many of them, and part of the troubleshooting procedure is to make sure they open either way you turn them.

        Oh, dude, troubleshooting is a surprisingly rare skill! But yeah I’ve encountered plenty of lever handles that only turn the one way, even a few that were installed “backwards” so they would only lift up.

        I agree that all lever handles should be able to go up as well as down, it’s just a sensible feature, but I’ve encountered it enough that I imagine there are a lot of older designs without it still being manufactured.
