I just got rid of a Jeep Cherokee (a victim of the Great Rust God). The
direction you rotated the key in the door lock to lock depended on
whether you were locking the driver or the passenger side.
I thought I was suffering from all kinds of confusions until finally I
discovered the rule. You rotate the key towards the front (to left on
drivers side, to right on passenger side) to produce the same effect.

This is a great site Paul thanks. I've got a car in which you turn
the key to the left to unlock it. To me, you should turn your key to
the right to unlock your car. I've owned this car for 6 years and
still haven't gotten this action down pat.
Guess that could reflect something about me....

I recommend that we get that bathroom door button a little further
from the rudder button.
