For some reason this defect at a door lock-set reminded me of that movie Airplane (can no longer remember which one) and the play on the word “striker,” where the word was not only some guys name but also what was done to one of the stewardesses–regardless of how totally politically incorrect. In a similar way this Strike bolt, struck me as kind of funny—-even though no stewardesses got hurt and no little kids had to see Peter Graves naked.
It does make me want to strike myself in the head though.

Good trick!
Glenn, it was broken–you could spin the thing around and around 🙂
The ones that make me laugh are at bathrooms where the privacy lock has been installed reversed.
I am surprised how often I find the reversal on doors in general—where you have to actually turn the handle to latch it and then merely push the door to open it 🙂
