Door Resources

Door handing or door swing terminology may differ depending on supplier or region. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself to our terminology.

  • Stand with your back against the jamb that has the hinges.
  • Extend an arm in the direction you wish the door to swing open
  • If you extend your left arm, then you will need to order a left-handed door swing. If you extended your right arm, then you will need to order a right-handed door swing.

If you are installing an exterior door, the rules still apply.

Though exterior doors typically swing inward (keeping the hinges inside the house) outward swinging doors are available but require special hinges that lock (preventing intruders from removing the hinges and door).
