It'll take at least a metric hour to read all of that!
There is a lot of information there. Here's one that surprised me, according to this, every lock residential lock I remember has been installed upside down.

Locks installed upside down are another common occurrence, although not a serious problem, most residential locks require that the lock be installed so that when the key is inserted, the teeth of the key are facing up. If this is not the case, chances are your lock is installed upside down.

The problems associated with upside-down locks are not always apparent right away. However, dirt will eventually jam into the cylinder of the lock and cause the lock to stick or jam over time.
