A right-hand door is a door that has its hinges on the right side when viewed from the outside. To determine if a door is right-handed or left-handed, you can use the following methods:
-
Stand on the hinged side of the door: If you can see the hinges with the door closed, you are on the hinged side of the door. If your left hand is closest to the door knob, it is a left-hand door. If your right hand is closest to the door knob, it is a right-hand door.
-
Open the door: Stand with your back against the swinging door hinges and open the door. If the door swing is on your right and also inward, then you have a right-hand door.
-
Check the hinges: If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it is a right-hand door.
It is important to determine the type of door you need before ordering it to avoid ordering the wrong door.
