We have these here in the UK but the mechanism is the other way round, so that it makes to sense 👍

Do you mean it makes sense like how your school lunch ladies appear to be called dinner ladies? That kind of sense?

All meals in Britain are called "dinner" somewhere in the country :)

Maybe it makes sense like how private schools there are called "public schools" and public schools are called "private schools". I will never understand that one.

1st position detent = tilt (small opening).
2nd position detent = door (big opening).

I get that "horizontal handle = door" kinda makes sense... But doesn't feel intuitive to me
