Single Metal Door & Frame

It is important to know the swing of a door, the hardware being used can be directly impacted.

With your back against the hinge side of the opening, pretend your arms are the door – left arm moves it is left hand, right arm moves it is right hand.

Now to complicate the matter:
Handing if based on standing on the outside of the opening. If you pull toward you from the outside, it becomes a reverse door. So that left hand door pulling toward you now becomes a right hand reverse and the right hand door pulling toward you becomes a left hand reverse door.

Still not sure, check out our handing charts: httpss://commercialdoorsonline.com/door-handling-chart/
