DOOR HANDING CHART

 

HANDING

To determine the hand of a door, view the door from the Secure Side (the side the hinges are on is the hand of the door).

  • If the door swings away from the viewer, the hand is regular hand, i.e., right or left hand.
  • If the door swings to the viewer, the door is reverse swing, i.e., right hand reverse swing or left hand reverse swing.
