Yeah also you normally do a 90 degree rotation towards the wall to lock

i've heard of that being the standard for water valves but i don't think it's a universal thing for simple door locks

I think it is! The metal block slides in that direction so it's rather intuitive. One lock I know that works the other way is my flat lock, and it's just wrong model installed incorrectly; it's upside down

if it still locks the door it's fine then! Water valves need to be standardised as sometimes you need to know water's not flowing, especially if it's an emergancy, but a door lock? just check if it's closed man
