Oh, dude, troubleshooting is a surprisingly rare skill! But yeah I've encountered plenty of lever handles that only turn the one way, even a few that were installed "backwards" so they would only lift up.

I agree that all lever handles should be able to go up as well as down, it's just a sensible feature, but I've encountered it enough that I imagine there are a lot of older designs without it still being manufactured.
