A lot of times this sort of thing can be fixed by removing the lock/latch
mechanizm and rotating it 180 degrees and re-installing. In this case it
might mean that the side facing towards outside needs to be turned to face
inside, or it could be the side that is up now needs to be turned to face
down. Make a pencil mark to note the current possition so you can get back
to that point if necessary, and then try a few different positions with it.
Don't re-assemble everything tight until you've tested how the inside and
outside handles react to your change. Once it works the way you want,
tighten everything up and you're done! (Except now it will take you about 2
weeks to remember the handle works the other way now!)
