how do you know how the latch is oriented?

I am pretty sure it can be used on either a right hand or left hand opening door.

I do not believe there is a difference on the latch for doors left or right opening as mount with two screws and can be turned either way. Only the lock button will go up or down depending on door mounting .

Either way works, but if there is a flatter side to the latch you have, the flatter side should strike the striker.

I had that problem to start with then I saw where the latch was not locking in all the way. I had to apply a little extra pressure to lock it in place and it has not fallen out after that.

look just below the handle on the main upright before you get to the red release latch. there is a decal where it instructs you to "twist to adjust suction...." it's the only thing you can twist. THANKS for asking - i hadn't noticed it before & i need it, too!!

Either way can be used when rear-facing. I'd have to reread the forward facing instructions as to whether you can use the latch system then, but we haven't gotten that far ahead yet. We still use it rear-facing at this time.

You do not "have" to latch it. That is an option, to keep it from moving around in the vehicle, especially in case of a crash. We don't have latches either and it works fine in our vehicle.

I have found that it is better if you can pull the strap straight out instead of on an angle. I think the latch only lets you loosen not tighten.

There is a magnet on the latch I fold it backwards and use it to keep it up but u don't have too I didn't have any problem getting it to stand and stay up. I just do it as a precaution

My lock is parallel to the long side. It shouldn't make any difference as the latch is oriented parallel to the short side and the lock is low profile and shouldn't reduce the open flat area for storage.

I tried to find a name on the latch but I couldn't find anything. I really like the latch though!

The latch is a cable system that can be released from either side. When you pull the cable it releases a pin that opens the cover.

It sticks a bit. There are two actions-- slide the top latch to the side, then lift upwards before opening. Best to do it before picking up the baby to get out. I do not lock it all the way if we are not inside.

If you carry the latch to Lowe's, or a very good hardware store even better,they could probably answer your questions for you. I have no idea....

I have a tea chest like this one and the latch just flips up in front. Just pull the bottom of the metal latch up.

A notch in a latch opening. Part that can be used as a stand has to be fully extended to access opening.

When you unscrew the the side screw from the swivel, push it in and the latch will open
